Toddlers love to wiggle. Make wiggly time fun for everyone!
"Feeling giggly-squiggly? It's wiggly time!" Wiggly Time/¡A mover el cuerpo! uses energetic body and word play to channel young children's energy and encourage them to get moving—and then help them transition to quiet time. Toddlers learn best through movement, and little ones need lots of physical activity every day. "Ahhhhh, that was fun . . . and wiggly time's all done."
This English-Spanish bilingual board book taps into toddlers' inherent love of play and silliness, and the ideas can be used for a fun break, at transition times, or anytime.

" Try "Sun's out, let's melt" to encourage floor time and relaxation.
Wiggly Time/¡A mover el cuerpo! also includes helpful tips in English and Spanish for parents, teachers, and caregivers about making movement fun and part of their everyday routine.
