Babies love nursery rhymes, especially when they involve actions.

And they're great for helping them to learn too. The more you repeat rhymes, the more likely they'll guess what comes next and remember the words in future.

So why not have a go at Wind the Bobbin Up? Watch the short video below to remind yourself how it goes.

What does Wind the Bobbin Up teach children?

Wind The Bobbin Up is a great rhyme to help children link actions and words together. It also helps them learn about following instructions.

As you're singing along, see if your child can identify the words in the verses and perform the right actions - clapping, pulling and pointing.

When your baby is very young, you can help by holding their hands and showing them how to do it. This can help their body learn and practise movements that they will soon perform by themselves.

As they get older, they'll probably be able to do the gestures before they can sing along. Developing coordination by practising these actions helps with other life skills when they鈥檙e older, such as getting dressed and playing sports.

For children who are struggling to communicate, singing nursery rhymes is a very helpful way to learn how to communicate through gesture.

Wind the Bobbin Up lyrics

Wind the bobbin up

Wind the bobbin up

Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap

Wind it back again

Wind it back again

Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap

Point to the ceiling

Point to the floor

Point to the window

Point to the door

Clap your hands together, one, two, three

Lay them gently on your knees

Rolling, rolling, way up high

Clap, clap, clap and away they fly

In case you missed it
