Pony Rides
As your baby increases her neck strength and head control, you can take her on some gentle pony rides. Choose a favourite nursery rhyme, or sing the ones below.
Materials
- Your knee
- Small, soft blanket or towel
Instructions
- Lay a small, soft blanket or towel over your knee, for your baby's comfort.
- Seat your baby on your knee, facing you, and hold her arms for support.
- As you recite a rhyme, gently bounce your baby up and down.
- Repeat the rhyme several times before moving on to another. Following are some rhymes to try:
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
To Market, to Market
To market, to market, to buy a fat pig,
Home again, home again, jiggety-jig.
To market, to market, to buy a fat hog,
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.
One, Two, Bounce My Shoe
One, two, bounce my shoe;
Three, four, tap the floor;
Five, six, give a kick;
Seven, eight, legs stand straight;
Nine, ten, start again.
Safety
Don't bounce your baby too hard, and always hold her so she doesn't fall.
