Tinsel Dancing For Toddlers and Preschoolers

Tinsel Dancing for Toddlers and Preschoolers is always a hit at any Christmas party and it’ll always come in handy to blow off some steam whenever it’s too cold or wet to go outside to play over the holidays.

This idea is very simple and it’s success really depends on the music that you play.  Here are a few suggestions that work really well and set the christmas spirits soaring. Some are Classical tracks and others are just classics! Just a word of warning, the tinsel does shed a bit, so be prepared to get the hoover out afterwards!

1. Sleigh Ride, Santa Claus Party – Ferrante and Teicher

2. Let it Go & Vivaldi’s Winter – The Piano Guys

3. The Nutcracker Suite “March” – Tchaikovsky

4. The Nutcracker Suite “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” – Tchaikovsky

5. The Nutcracker Suite “Trepak” – Tchaikovsky

When the novelty of the tinsel has worn off, you could swap it for jingle bells and here are a couple of perfect tracks to jingle along to.

6. Jingle Bells – Bing Crosby

7. Sleigh Ride – The Ronettes

8. Sleigh Ride – The Andrews Sisters
