This is a nursery rhyme and activity book for playgroup-aged children, designed to teach body awareness, senses, and daily routines through song and movement. It is intended for use by teachers, parents, or caregivers with toddlers and preschoolers.
The first section, Level 1, is titled 'Wonderful Super Senses'. It includes rhymes about eating, drinking, and sleeping, followed by verses on seeing a butterfly, hearing a bird, smelling a flower, tasting food, and touching soft and rough objects. Each rhyme encourages children to connect with their own bodies.
The book features classic action songs such as 'Head, shoulders, knees and toes' and 'When you're happy and you know it', with instructions for clapping, stomping, marching, and jumping. There are also movement prompts like 'touch your toes', 'step left', and 'reach for the sky'.
Additional rhymes include 'Chubby cheeks, dimple chin', which describes facial features, and two versions of 'All of me' and 'Just me', which celebrate fingers, toes, ears, nose, and the whole body. The text includes a note on inclusivity, showing diverse children with different abilities and appearances.
Level 2, titled 'Family Makes Home', introduces rhymes about rooms in a house: kitchen for eating, bedroom for sleeping, bathroom for washing, and living room for meeting. The section ends with the rhyme 'Around my home', reinforcing the idea of home as warm and sweet.
