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
