The other ladies have given great advice! I do my circle time on little mats in a circle and sing songs with actions (I make sure to alternate between standing and sitting songs and they are all action based and interactive). They all totally love it! But you have to keep it short and keep the pace brisk at that age. For the park, I bring lots of sand toys and for the little ones that age I don't let them up on the structure until later on when they are more stable on their legs and know not to throw themselves off the structure. Welcome to the forum! There is soooo much to be learned here
