Materials Needed:
Stuffed animal or doll
Directions:
Put a stuffed animal or doll "to bed" and let your child know that it's time to wake up the pretend "friend."
Ask your child to help you make up a "Wake Up" song. Try to put new words to a tune that is already familiar to her. For example, you might sing, to the tune of "Row Your Boat!" Wake up, wake up now, it's time to start the day…Open the windows and greet the sun, it's a wonderful day to play…
Invite your child to wake up the stuffed animal by singing the song. Then ask her to think of some other good ways to help someone get up.
The next morning, when it's time to wake up, sing your "Wake Up" song to your sleepyhead.
