Squirming, swaying, or dancing to their favorite songs, smiling when a favorite tune is playing friday night funkin in the background, and, of course, banging on toys (or pots and pans) to create their own jams. It's no secret that babies and toddlers enjoy music, and singing, dancing, and listening to music are all important parts of early childhood development.

What are the advantages of musical play for infants and toddlers?
Aside from pure delight at the sounds he's making, there are several advantages to allowing your child to drum (rattle, shake, clap, bang...) to his own beat. Making music stimulates thinking and expressive skills, as well as creativity; it also encourages socialization and builds self-esteem when your baby hears what he can do (and the applause that follows!).
Making music may also improve neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to form new pathways as a result of "experiences," or learning, such as sound, sensation, movement, and attention). Music may also improve synaptic connections between brain cells, potentially improving language development as well as cognitive and social development.


Getting into music also helps a child's physical development. Dancing to the beat is a type of active play that helps your sweetie's arm, leg, and trunk muscles grow. Fine motor development is aided by instruments and fingerplays, which prepare your little one's fingers and hands for activities such as writing and drawing. Singing a favorite song even works out your child's mouth and lip muscles!
