Here We Go On Our Ponies

Face your baby and bounce them gently on your lap - they will enjoy the steady beat of this song! For ‘stop a moment just to say…’ sway slowly instead of bouncing or even lift baby in the air. Baby will love this contrast and anticipation.

Bounce your toddler on your lap facing forward or encourage them to bounce as they stand. For ‘woah – woah – woah!’ you can lift your toddler in the air or swing them side to side! Use names of family members or friends for the hello section – “Who shall we say hello to today? Granny? Hello granny!”

3-5-year-olds will most likely enjoy pretending to ride a horse! Repeat at different speeds – can they gallop really fast or maybe even in slow motion? For the stop section, can they stand really still? Encourage children to make sounds like ‘clip clop’ or ‘neigh’.
