What can I do with my two year old all day?

4. Enjoy music


* play instruments

* sit and do action songs together

* dress up and dance to music (great on rainy days!)

* watch music DVDs

* make up songs about you toddler to sing to him/her

* have songs for different parts of the day e.g. a bath time song, a getting dressed song

* make home made instruments (see the internet for lots of ideas)

* have a certain type of music playing during room play each day
e.g. one mum I knew would play classical music during this time

* if you are even a little bit musically talented (not me!) you could record your
playing and singing for a tape for times when one of you is away or for free play time

* have a disc of gentle bedtime music for a relaxing way to end the day.
