This is a really cute action song that’s always very popular with toddlers. Especially as they’re always so keen to do their little duckling impersonations, diving upside down with heads bobbing down and bottoms up in the air!
This song has a simple and catchy tune, which is easy to pick it up and remember for small children because it has a limited range.
The actions are simple too:- bobbing upside down in the first verse, snapping hands together like beaks in the second verse and wiggling bottoms like waddling ducks for the third verse.
‘All The Little Ducks’ is also excellent for learning to swim too, because it gets little ones used to putting their faces in the water, and obviously helps with building up swimming confidence.
