What to do with this activity?

Two little dickey birds is an action song your baby will enjoy, and it will make the idea of counting fun. It's a hiding game, always a favourite with babies, so make the disappearance and re-appearance of the birds as dramatic as you like. Talk about the real small birds you see so that your child will know that's what the song is about. Here are the actions described. Encourage your child to copy the actions along with you. 

Sit facing your child. Make a fist with each hand, but hold up your two pointing (index) fingers (one to represent each dickey bird).

Two little dickey birds sitting on the wall (wiggle your two pointing fingers)
One named Peter (wiggle one pointing finger)
The other named Paul (wiggle the other pointing finger)
Fly away Peter (move your hand behind your back so Peter flies away!)
Fly away Paul (same with Paul!)
Come back Peter (then bring back your hand with Peter)
Come back Paul (bring back Paul!)"
