Just a comfy little corner to sit in!

Benefits

Hand-eye coordination is enhanced, as are listening skills and the ability to follow directions. Songs with actions help to support the development of language skills and promote literacy.

The experience

This is an action game song where the lyrics are reflected in movement, using simple actions in both hands. While watching the lovely pre-recorded video encourage your child to follow the moves while singing the song. Why not sharing a video of your child on Famly while watching and trying out the moves?

Lyrics: Open, shut them, Open, shut them, (open and shut both hands) Give a little clap, clap, clap (clap on each “clap”) Open, shut them, Open, shut them, (open and shut both hands) Put them in you lap, lap, lap (tap open hands on thighs) Creep them, creep them, creep them, creep them, (crawl hands up to chin) Right up to your chin, chin, chin (tap on each “chin”) Open wide your little mouth (open mouth) But do not put them in, in, in (tap on each “chin” again)
