Lap Bounce Journey
"Bumpy Road/Smooth Road"
"Bumpy Road/Smooth Road"Grownups are instructed to seat their baby facing forward on their laps and bounce along with me as I demonstrate with a roughly baby-sized teddy bear. Here is the chant:
Bumpy road, bumpy road. (Bounce baby on lap)
Smooth road, smooth road. (Move baby smoothly back and forth)
Bumpy road, bumpy road. (Bounce baby on lap)
Smooth road, smooth road. (Move baby smoothly back and forth)
Rough road, rough road! (Bounce baby higher than before)
Bumpy road, bumpy road. (Bounce baby on lap)
Rough road, rough road! (Bounce baby higher than before)
Hole! (Hold baby under armpits and let them fall between your legs)
"Gregory Griggs"

Board Book #2
Clive and His Babies by Jessica Spanyol
I'll never be able to express just how much I love Clive. There's a whole series of Clive books and they all challenge traditional gender roles and are very racially inclusive with their characters. I hope Jessica Spanyol never stops writing about Clive.

Board Book #1
Grandma Calls Me Gigglepie by JD Lester
This book is a little long for babies, so I taped a few of the pages together to make it shorter. Don't worry, the tape didn't hurt the book! If it was a book with paper pages, not shiny treated cardboard, I'd use a paperclip.
Lap Bounce Journey
"Bumpy Road/Smooth Road"
"Gregory Griggs"
"Walkin' Ol' Joe"
"Shake My Sillies Out"
Board Book #2
Maisy's First Numbers by Lucy Cousins
This counting book is great for babies because it only goes up to 5, whereas most kids' counting books go up to 10. Before 36 months, you just want babies to develop a basic understanding of the concept of counting, so going up to 5 is more than enough.
Movement Song
