Gather a few things
A comfortable place to sit together.
Let’s play
- Clap once gently and pause.
- Invite a clap, tap, wave, or any response.
- Copy your toddler’s movement back to them.
- Try two soft taps and finish with a little wave.
A little learning to notice
Notice taking turns and repeated sounds. Let your toddler lead the pattern.
Keep a little memory
Give your favorite little rhythm a family nickname and repeat it another day.
Make it work for your child
Tap your knees instead of clapping if sound is uncomfortable. Keep patterns short.
