When it is raining and dreary outside, and you’ve run out of inspiration for keeping your kids amused, there is nothing better than a bit of escapism into the world of fantasy. All you need is some music to play and a bit of clear space. If you have some dressing up clothes, then even better! The possibilities are endless, and children will soon be swept up into an imaginary world where they could be forest fairies or monsters up mountains!
Classical Music is a wonderful source of inspiration and brilliant for developing and expressing emotional responses. Whether it is played as background music to craft activities and play, or to encourage dancing and imaginative movement, it is an invaluable resource for anyone with small children. There is classical music to suit every mood and occasion and it can calm things down, liven things up or fire up the imagination.
5 Best Classical Tracks For Fairy Dancing

2. Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker Suite – Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy.
3. Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker Suite – Waltz Of The Flowers.
4. Debussy: Arabesque No.1.

(Winter and Spring recommended particularly for imaginative movement, but the whole piece is lovely, especially as a background for craft activities.)

These are fabulous selections. When my children were young the nutcracker suite was my favorite. Now, that I have grandchildren my children wanted some ideas and this was a great starting point.
The nutracker suite is one of my favourites too Mary! Thanks so much for stopping by 🙂
