A sign in the park in the US - we love how positive an idea it is to encourage grown-ups to sing to smallies. Some people prefer not to do it in public but that’s ok, your child isn’t judging your singing voice - just yet!! Keep on singing wherever you can!!

How do 'make' your child musical? By making music with them and for them...sing, dance, hold them while you move, let them see you enjoy music-making - monkey see, monkey do! Limited spaces left in our fun, research-based music & movement classes in Douglas from Sept 11/16 - choose Mondays or Wednesdays. Contact us for more info - we'd love you to join the fray! www.wriggletto.com.

We love to see smallies react like this in Wriggletto and at home - it shows the natural joy babies and older kids experience when they hear music, the universal language! 💕

Study says singing can help with postnatal depression

Great article via Rollercoaster.ie - it's no surprise that singing can help with postnatal depression. Wriggletto families have remarked over and over to me over the years how happy they feel after class, and I feel it myself all the time. Singing in a choir has so many benefits too, so if you can't make Wriggletto, give yourself the present of one night a week in a choir - it will really make a difference to your life!

To Really Learn, Our Children Need the Power of Play

‘The lifelong success of children is based on their ability to be creative and to apply the lessons learned from playing.’ —American Academy of Pediatrics. In Wriggletto there’s no performance pressure on our smallies.. it’s all about immersing them in a playful, musical experience and continuing that experience at home.
