Share Your Frustrations

As a dance instructor, I love introducing my two-year old to sing-alongs and music videos! We have a collection of tot-friendly DVDs filled with educational and lively music. She loves the colors, the upbeat numbers, and lucky for me, it tires her out enough for an early bedtime! I agree that Pixar and Disney movies are great; we also enjoyed Sing 2 for its wonderful songs and heartwarming stories, which kept my little one glued to the screen!


Bubblyfish, any other tips to survive the toddler years are welcome! It's challenging work, this motherhood gig. ___
Do you think music and sing-alongs would help keep other toddlers entertained as well? Any favorite kids' songs that have been a hit with your little ones?As an aside, I've also heard good things about the new series of Cocomelon for keeping young kids engaged!

Let me know your thoughts, fellow moms! Have a splendid day ahead.

As a mom myself, I can definitely vouch for the lifesaving powers of music and sing-alongs! They are a wonderful way to keep toddlers entertained, and some of the catchy tunes can help reinforce learning, too. My little one loves "Old Macdonald Had a Farm," and any song with animal sounds seem to be a sure hit with her. We also love the classic nursery rhymes like 'I Spy' and 'Ring Around the Rosie' which never fail to keep her engaged, especially when I join in and play along.

Cocomelon has been a recent favorite on rainy days, and the bright colors and upbeat music hold her attention well. If you haven't already, you should check it out!

Fellow mums, what's your toddler's favorite go-to jam?
