Cait Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 A few years out of the loop and I’ve been asked if I can remember any transport songs by the lady who runs the toddler group. I’ve remembered the obvious wheels on the bus down at the station row, row, row your boat five little men in a flying saucer bouncing up and down on a big red tractor can you think of any more, please?

Panders Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Just had a look in 'This Little Puffin' book, Here comes a big red bus, A big red bus, a big red bus; Here comes a big red bus To takes us to the shops other verses might be..... Minibus to take us all to school motorcar to take us to the sea taxi-cab to take us to the station dustbin lorry to take away the rubbish it says sing to the tune of Jack and Jill I struggled a little with that! Also felt it was a little of its time - maybe Another one is a version of I went to visit a farm one day I went across the street one day, and saw a car across the way and what do you think I heard it say? Brrm Brmm Brmm other vehicles could be motorbike/bus/ lorry (milk float not very likely around here😂) there are a few others but nothing I would have thought suitable for toddlers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
