Shake Your Sillies Out

Remember this old song from Raffi? Take a minute to listen to this song with your child. Play it again and follow along clapping, shaking, wiggling, and even yawning together with the kids.

The wiggles also have a version of this song that you can find on youtube but I like Raffi's better:) The background photo for this video clip is kinda funny so you'll just have to ignore that. I really like how it has the words so you can read along with the song. Have fun!

Get moving with this cute summertime rhyme

A cute action rhyme borrowed from  Picture Books and Piroettes. Try this at home. To add movements just follow the words and be creative! 

 Hop Like a Bunny

Fly Like a Bee

Twirl like the wind under an apple tree.

Open like a daisy 

in the morning sun.

Act like a river and run, run, run.

Extensions: read a book or do crafts about summer, bunnies, bees, apple trees, or daisies.
