Toddlers move and play is for young kids to have fun and move with the music. Toddlers move and play teaches young kids to socialize with other kids their age.

Play is one of the main ways that children learn, develop and grow. Play is good for all areas of your toddler’s development, including their motor skills development.

Playing with your toddler each day helps them move and strengthen their muscles and bones. It’s also good for your toddler’s confidence, as they test their abilities and discover that they can climb higher, run faster and jump further all the time.

When your toddler gets plenty of physical activity into their day through play, it’s good for their overall health and wellbeing.
