Tips for Toddler Circle Time


 Keep it SHORT!  Attention Spans for our young ones are pretty small - plan for
that!
 Don't try to do all the circle time activities mentioned above in one setting. Pick
and choose to keep it fresh.
 While choosing different activities to keep it fresh is good, also remember that
children like a sense of routine. Singing the same song at the beginning and/or
end of circle time helps with this feeling of routine.
 Allow young toddlers to join and leave your circle time as they see fit. Forcing
a toddler to stay sitting when they have different plans is a recipe for
frustration. Make it so your circle time is so fun and engaging that they just
flock on over to you!
 Have a spot for each child to sit and keep it the same. This helps with feeling of
routine and helps them feel like they have a spot that is all theirs if they choose
to come and go.
 Add hands-on items as much as possible. Doing a movement song with scarves,
bells, beanbags, balls or bubbles will keep them coming back for more!
