This little piggy – a barefoot song to encourage wiggling toes

What to do 

1. Make sure your baby has bare feet.  
2. Give them time to wriggle their toes, maybe gently stroke them with your fingers. 
3. Sing ‘This Little Piggy Went to Market’, touching each toe as you sing a new line. 
4. When you sing the last line, gently move your finger along the bottom of your baby’s foot 

Good to know  

Your baby will be able to explore the feeling of moving their feet and toes much better when their feet are bare as there are no limitations on movement.  

As you gently touch their feet while you sing ‘This Little Piggy Went to Market’, you might notice lots of different movements as your baby reacts.  

This little piggy went to market,  

This little piggy stayed home,  

This little piggy had roast beef... 

And this little piggy had none! 

This little piggy went “wee, wee, wee” all the way home!
