Inside: Looking for songs to add to your toddler playlist? Here are 10 favorites that young children love to sing and do the motions, getting their whole bodies involved!
Music can be a magical, yet soothing, thing.
Especially those first few weeks of school, when you might have some children who need the comfort of familiar songs. They might be dealing with a bit of separation anxiety and one of the only remedies is singing.
Or, you have the busy toddler who is running around the classroom, nearly falling over other children in his path. Music, especially action music, will help them redirect that energy while also strengthen gross motor skills.
