I Hear Thunder

Sing this song to your baby and gently make different patterns and dots on their body with your fingers.

Wake up your crayons – whisper, and then shout, 'wake up crayons' to start your activity. Don't forget to tuck them up in their box and sing them a good night lullaby at the end. Little ones could use their fingers in the bath to make dots on the bath or use chalks outside on the ground.

Try singing other songs from the app or Song and Rhyme library while you encourage mark making with your wee one. You could change the words of A Leopard Has Lots of Spots to 'A crayon has lots of spots, what a lot of spots it's got, it also has stripes like long thin pipes, a crayon has lots of spots, spots, spots, spots.' And be responsive to your little one – let them feed in ideas and go with the flow!
