Touch and count your baby’s fingers and toes aloud. What other body parts can you count aloud?
OR...
Sing the song “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” and point to or touch each body part while singing.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!
Let's Play
This activity will help your child make connections to the text, which helps children improve comprehension.
Play with your baby’s toes saying the classic nursery rhyme “This Little Piggy Went to Market”
This little piggy went to market - Wiggle baby’s big toe
This little piggy stayed at home - Wiggle baby’s long toe
This little piggy had roast beef - Wiggle baby’s middle toe
This little piggy had none - Wiggle baby’s ring toe
And this little piggy went "Wee, Wee, Wee" all the way home! - Wiggle baby’s "pinky" toe and tickle the bottom of baby’s foot.
