Do you know that a baby fish is called a fry? How many baby animals does your child know? How about a fun way to introduce the names of baby animals to your children? I used this during one of our playgroup sessions.
Do you know the song "The Wheels On The Bus" which goes:
The wheels on the bus go round and round
round and round
round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
all through the town
Nyn loves this song. So, I changed the lyrics to:
The calf on the farm goes moo moo moo
moo moo moo
moo moo moo
The calf on the farm goes moo moo moo
all day long
Then add other baby animals on the farm such as:
kid - baby goat
piglet - baby pig
chick - baby chicken
lamb - baby sheep
duckling - baby duck
puppy - baby dog
kitten - baby cat
foal - baby horse
You may also try baby animals in the jungle such as:
tiger cub - baby tiger
lion cub - baby lion
owlet - baby owl
If you do not know this song, don't worry, you can always use "Old MacDonald Has A Farm".
To make it more fun, use finger puppets, soft toy or pictures of baby animals and let them dance to the music.
Have fun, everybody!
