By reading, singing, dancing and playing, everyone is having so much fun that they don’t realise how clever they are being! Join Monkey and Mo and explore the magical world of music with your child.

Published by pre-school specialist Campbell Books and based on the award-winning Monkey Music classes, Let’s Sing and Play is full of ideas on how to make music with your toddler.

You can use the CD with the book, separately, or even, when you know the songs… not at all!

We get out the big box of musical instruments and put on a nursery rhyme cd and play along to the music. Or we sing nursery rhymes loudly! This is often quite head ache inducing especially if I've been up all night with the baby but my three year old adores music so the louder the better....after a coffee Grin

I listened to classical music when my toddler was in my tummy and my husband sings to her and plays guitar. She loves music and dancing along and knows lots of actions to nursery rhymes. She's 21 months and has just started to sing along as well Smile

We go to rhyme time twice a week at the library, where we sing songs and play instruments, wave scarves, etc. It's really engaging. We also use song in many things we do, whether it's swimming, when out in the car, in the bath or in town. I always have the radio on at home, which my son seems to really enjoy.

It doesn't take much to engage the little ones with music. Music has been playing since day 1 - from musical baby bouncers, musical toys and now tv.

It's always a source of fun and laughter with a sing song and a dance.

If you couple the music with lights and/or movement, that helps
