The Dowdling Song: A Sparkle Stories Sing-Along!
In this week’s new Martin & Sylvia story, Sylvia wakes up and just doesn’t want to do any school. Through the activities of the morning, she makes a special visit and finds a helpful tool — a fun song to sing when there’s something that needs to be done that you don’t want to do!
The song helps Sylvia reframe her day, and she teaches it to her entire family.
What activities, chores, or responsibilities would "The Dowdling song" help your family with? For Sylvia, it was school. For her dad, it was a work presentation.
We’ve created a recording that you can use at home to help whenever you are in the same situation! Try it out, and help your kids learn it (Here are the lyrics to help you out!).:
Rowdily Wowdily Dowdily Do
Squiggily Wiggily Giggily Goo
Noodily Poodily Doodily Do
Rowdily Dowdily Row!
Listen below to our version of “Dowdling” (try the bottom for a more toned-down version)
