Wind the Bobbin Up (Nursery Rhyme)

Summary


"Wind the Bobbin Up" is a beloved action nursery rhyme that invites children to wind, pull, clap, and point their way through a sequence of playful movements. With its simple, repetitive rhythm, the rhyme guides little ones to point to the ceiling, the floor, the window, and the door before gently placing their hands upon their knees. The joy is in the doing — each repeated line builds anticipation, making it as fun to perform as it is to hear.

Wind the bobbin up,
Wind the bobbin up,
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap.
Wind it back again,
Wind it back again,
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap,
Point to the ceiling,
Point to the floor,
Point to the window,
Point to the door,
Clap your hands together, 1, 2, 3,
And place them gently upon your knee.
