One song, many ways:
- Babies: Hold the baby close to you and swing from side to side. When you count to three, tickle their tummies. When you reach the "wee!" section, bring the baby in for a cuddle.
- Toddlers: Hold their hands as they stand opposite you and swing your hands from side to side. When you reach the "wee!" section, tickle them or bring them in for a cuddle.
- If they're holding a soft toy: Can you mimick the movement with your own soft toy and they can copy you?
Lyrics:
Swing me over the ocean, swing me over the sea.
Swing me over the garden wall and swing me home for tea.
One, two, three.... Wee!
