Musical entertainment encourages visual and listening skills. Getting kids to dance and sing-along encourages parent-child interaction, thinking and movement. This interactive DVD comes packaged in a vinyl tote containing rhythm sticks, shaky egg, shiny maraca, scarf and rainbow colored streamers. A booklet with the lyrics invites you and your child to join in the fun by singing and dancing along to the DVD.
"For the best play experience together, plan this activity at the time of day when your child has the most energy and is not tired or hungry ."
