For several weeks now, we have been doing “Row Row Row Your Boat” during Friday’s toddler storytime.  It is fun to sit with your child, facing each other and holding hands.  You then rock your bodies back and forth like you are in a boat.  It is a fun way to do some singing and movement with your toddler.  You can look up the song and find so many fun and silly verses to the song, or you can make up some of your own to the familiar tune.  Today we tried a few new verses.

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 brook,
If you catch a little fish
Please let it off the hook.

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream,
Ha ha fooled you
I’m a submarine.

In addition, we read a version of “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” that also have lots of fun and different verses.
