First 5 – Music & Movement
Music, dance and movement can have a really positive impact on
children’s physical and mental wellbeing. Movement can occur indoors
or outdoors and adding music allows children to discover and develop
ways to be creative and express themselves. Music and movement
is a fun, active, engaging multi-sensory activity.
