Your child hears the O sound — o! — again and again, sees the capital letter O, and watches the octopus make the shape of the letter O. Then meets eight O words right on the beat: orange, ox, otter, olive, ostrich, omelette, odd socks and octagon.

The words
O! O! O! O, o, o! Here comes Nidra — it's O today!
O is for Octopus, Octopus, Octopus! O is for Octopus — o, o, O!
O-o-orange, round and sweet, o-o-ox with big strong feet, o-o-otter, splash, splash, splash, O is for Octopus — in a flash!
O-o-olive, small and green, o-o-ostrich, tallest you've seen, o-o-omelette in the pan, O is for Octopus — catch me if you can!
Curl your arms round, round, round, eight arms curling, not a sound, curl up, Octopus — look, it's an O! (Bloop!)
On and off, on and off, odd socks, pull them off! Octagon, eight sides round, O is for Octopus — upside down!
Say it with me: o! (o!) Say it again: o! (o!) Wiggle your arms: o! (o!) Make a round mouth: o! (o!) O, o, o, o — O! O! Octopus!
Bloop! Bloop!
O is for Octopus, Octopus, Octopus! O is for Octopus — o, o, O! O is for Octopus, Octopus, Octopus! O is for Octopus — o, o, O!
