For our ReadItMummiesAndDaddies 2013 theme week encouraging dance and movement, Simon Tuck (who penned the groovy and stomach-churning "Dwaine Pipe" books we featured a while back) has come up trumps once again with a great rhyme to make up a groovy coconut-cracking dance to (I'll apologise for the image I scribbled to accompany it - but Sy's rhyme rocks!)
Try this out on your tiddlers, and see what sort of crazy moves and dances they can come up with (great activity for a first day back at school for Wake up, Shake up sessions!)
Take it away Sy!
