Saturday April 18th Lap Sit
Toddler: This day is a completely separate activity for toddlers. You can certainly plant a seed in a cup with them and they will enjoy digging in the dirt but the whole concept of what a flower needs and how long it takes to happen is a little too advanced at this point.
Grand Old Duke of York / Lap Sit Song
You sing this song while you have your child on your lap. I suggest sitting on the floor with legs straight out.
Sing Actions
The Grand Old Duke of York -small bounces
He had 10,000 men -small bounces
He marched them up to the top of the hill -alternate legs (up and down) and "march" your toddler up til your knees are bent
and he marched them down again -alternate legs (up and down) and "march" your
toddler down till your legs are flat
And when your up your up -lift knees until bent up (you can lift with arms if you
are strong enough)
and when your down your down -straighten your legs flat
and when your only half way up -lift your knees half way up
your neither up -bend knees and lift toddler up
nor down -straighten legs straight infront of you
