They usually stand in a group setting. I sing continuously in the classroom. This is a powerful way to get the children to focus on what they are doing and helps them to wait for a turn. It takes time and creativity to help these little ones control their bodies. Try creating activities in the classroom that educate the child's movement.
Toddlers love to transfer things from one place to the other.
Jan Lee is an excellent teacher and contributor on this message board. I have tupperware basins filled with a small amount of water in the classroom low on shelves the children can reach. The children love to carry the basins to a work table and use whatever activity is inside. Anything from bottle washing to feeding the hungry fish. Once the toddler feeds the fish he turns the big fish over and pours the smaller fish into the basin.
