Music can be a powerful tool for a toddler's endless need to move and groove. Imagine my own epiphany when my husband (not the music therapist in the family!) discovered that our toddler ate faster and stayed in her seat when he played certain music during meal times. GENIUS.
The possibilities are endless, and we'll cover all of that. For now, let's dive into my very favorite music for toddlers!

BEST OVERALL CD for Toddlers:
What's your child's reaction right when the song comes on? Do they stop and listen? Does the speed of their body slow down or speed up? Do they dance? Sing? Try to pay attention... those reactions are clues for how you might use music with them!
You can also reference Music for Babies & Music for Preschoolers. There are a few songs that work for toddlers, too!
Happy listening!
