Dancing Fabric

Total Time Needed: 1 Hour

You already know your toddler's got rhythm, so invite her to a living-room dance party.

Materials

  • Pieces of colorful fabric or scarves -- anything shiny, silky, or draping

Instructions

  1. Bring out a few pieces of colorful fabric or scarves -- anything shiny, silky, or draping -- and let her twirl them around as she moves.
  2. You can use the fabric for a dancing game of peekaboo, hold some up for a makeshift curtain, or tie it on for a swinging skirt. Try holding two corners each and wave the fabric like a parachute, in time to the music.
  3. If your child's pretty steady on her feet, hold one corner each and let your child spin toward you into the fabric, then pull it to send her twirling away again.
