Directions
The Boohbahs move their arms in lots of different ways, but always in sync with the music. Put on your own music and see how many different ways you and your child can move your arms to the beat. If you change the music to something with a different beat, how do the movements change?

Talk About It
While viewing the Yellow Woolly Sweater episode, you might start a conversation by asking your child: Do you have any sweaters? Do they look like that one? If you could ask Mrs. Lady to knit a sweater for you, what color would you ask her to make it?

As you talk about the things on screen, you can help expand your child's vocabulary by alternating the words you use with their synonyms. In the Yellow Woolly Sweater episode, you can describe Mrs. Lady's sweater as a jumper or tunic.
