Make it Move Part 2
Make It Move week continues with a Word Party playground parade, everyone’s favorite bus-obsessed pigeon, a snack that will move on into your mouth, and printmaking with toy cars!
Watch Together
In this episode of Word Party, (Season 2, Episode 11, “A Playground Parade,”) the babies explore different ways to move on the playground. After watching, you might ask your child:
What does each of the babies like to play on the playground?
How about you?
What are some other ways the babies can move besides marching, climbing, scooting, and sliding?
Would you like to have a parade around the house like the babies did?

Cuddle Up and Read
If you have any books about transportation or movement, invite your child to choose one to read with you. Or, watch this read-aloud of “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus” by Mo Willems.
