Cross, Cross, Line, Line (video)

Following the words of the rhyme, draw on your baby’s back. Give a gentle blow on their neck (cool breeze), a lovely cuddle (tight squeeze), then end with some tickles!

Add some excitement and anticipation at the end by pausing before the ‘tickles’ - your child will get so excited when they realise what’s coming next!

Children can do the actions to each other (in pairs or around the circle), or to a teddy bear or soft toy - or even to you!
