Row row row your boat
SUITABLE FOR AGES 0-2
Babies love musical games. Try sitting them on your lap facing you and hold onto their hands. Then gently rock back and forth in a rowing motion. Whilst you rock your baby, sing the nursery rhyme favourite 'Row row row your boat gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream. Row row row your boat gently down the stream, if you see a crocodile don't forget to scream!'.
