Play Is the Way
A playful children's song about play being the physiotherapy - cushions on the floor, a dance around the living room, and five minutes counting for something.
Aderet Therapy Weekly is a weekly paediatric physiotherapy podcast for parents of babies and young children, made by Aderet Therapy in Campbelltown, in the Macarthur region of NSW. Each episode mixes short talk segments with original songs written for the week's topic. This is the song from episode 1, “How sure do you need to be before getting your child checked?”.

Lyrics
Verse
Cushions on the floor, a hallway full of bears
Stomping down the carpet, giggles everywhere
Every little tumble, every reach and roll
Building something strong, from their head down to their toes
Chorus
Play is the way, oh play is the way
We grow a little stronger every single day
No fancy things, just you and me
The living room's the place to be
Play, play, play is the way
Verse
Put a little song on, dance around the room
Balloon up in the air, a bouncing afternoon
Five little minutes, that is all it takes
Celebrate the wobble, celebrate the shakes
Chorus
Play is the way, oh play is the way
We grow a little stronger every single day
No fancy things, just you and me
The living room's the place to be
Play, play, play is the way
Outro
La la la, play is the way
La la la, we grow every day
