Wiggly Time / ¡A Mover El Cuerpo! - Elizabeth Verdick - Bog

Toddlers love to wiggle. Make wiggly time fun for everyone! "Feeling giggly-squiggly? It's wiggly time!" Wiggly Time/¡A mover el cuerpo! uses energetic body and word play to channel young children's energy and encourage them to get moving--and then help them transition to quiet time. Toddlers learn best through movement, and little ones need lots of physical activity every day. "Ahhhhh, that was fun . . . and wiggly time's all done." This English-Spanish bilingual board book taps into toddlers' inherent love of play and silliness, and the ideas can be used for a fun break, at transition times, or anytime. If a child has to wait five more minutes, call out some of the book's moves: "Dance like a robot, beep, bop, boop. Walk like a dinosaur, stomp, clomp, BOOM. " Try "Sun's out, let's melt" to encourage floor time and relaxation. Wiggly Time/¡A mover el cuerpo! also includes helpful tips in English and Spanish for parents, teachers, and caregivers about making movement fun and part of their everyday routine.
