21 Interactive Movement Songs for Toddlers That Are Actually Nice To Listen To

My kids love to move! Levi points at the Google Hub almost every day and starts bobbing up and down to tell me he’s ready to dance. The problem is most kids songs are not exactly enjoyable to listen to. This sent me on a quest to find songs that I actually enjoyed dancing and moving with them to! Here are 21 of our favorites.

1. Run Baby Run by Caspar Babypants

This is probably our all time favorite movement song! It usually results in Oak asking me to chase him round and round the island.

2. When a Big Fat Hippopotomos is Yawning by Sara Barchas

We love yawning like a hippopotamus, reaching like a giraffe, swinging like a monkey, and more!

3. Shake Your Sillies Out by Andy Mason or Raffi

Shake your sillies out, clap your crazies out, jump your jiggles out, yawn your sleepies out, and wiggle your waggles away with this fun song.
