So Many Things My Body Can Do

*from STONES HILL SONGS*

Song and dance:  🎶 2 essential joyous elements that are a natural part of a healthy child's life. Here is a song that can be used in classrooms or at home while you play with your child. Singing and dancing is just another way to connect the dots in the growing brain, body and more. It gives space to explore and play with our infinite possibilities in the form of shapes and moves that we can do with our body. It connects imagination to actual movement, allowing for individual expression and interpretation. Action songs give children the experience of being IN their bodies. As they notice how certain movements feel, they develop a keen spatial awareness and proprioception.



This particular song has a gentle flow that allows one to merge one movement into the next, a bit like waves rolling in and off the shore. There is no stop-start element to it. If you allow, the movements will take you up and down off the floor, something that children do naturally, and something that keeps us adults younger! You might find yourself repeating the same sequence each time the refrain comes around, perhaps swaying gently side to side while rolling the arms in front.   Enjoy, play with your child!  🎶🎶
