You don’t need musical instruments for your child to keep the beat to a song or rhyme. Clap along, or make a simple drum by turning a saucepan or plastic tub upside down. A wooden spoon makes a perfect drumstick!

I Can Clap My Hands lyrics

I can clap my hands, I can stamp my feet,

I can turn around, I can feel the beat,

I can knock my knees, I can touch my toes,

I can sing-along, that’s how it goes,

But there's more to me, than you can see.

I can feel so high, I can feel so low,

I can feel so yes, I can feel so no,

I can feel so high, I can feel so low,

I can feel so yes, I can feel so no,

But there's more to me, than you can see.
