This Is the Way We Laugh and Play

Independent playtime doesn't have to be stay-still-and-don't-talk time. Encourage your child to make some music on their own while acting out the accompanying motions to this song: playing with their favorite toys, clapping their hands together, then busting out their best baby boogie.
