Yoghurt pot or plastic cup card circles (one large, one small) paint glue plasticine collage material
Step by step
* Have children decorate the yoghurt pot or cup with paint or collage material.
* Assemble the robin by placing the small circle of card on the large circle to make a head. Make some tail feathers and wings and attach to the body.
* Attach a piece of plasticine firmly to the inside of the yoghurt pot or cup so, when laid on its side, it rocks.
* Glue the robin to the open end of the yoghurt pot or cup. The robin will appear to rock on its tummy.
* Say this rhyme with the children standing in line and rocking, leaving the line one at a time as the rhyme is said.

One said, 'Tweet tweet, I must go!'
