“New research shows babies are born to dance,” scientists from the University of York (U.K.) and University of Jyvaskyla (Finland) have discovered.

The findings of the research “suggest that babies are born with a predisposition to move rhythmically in response to music,” we read at the University of Jyvaskyla’s site.

The researchers have also discovered that “infants respond to the rhythm and tempo of music and find it more engaging than speech.”

Do your kids enjoy sound effects in our online game? Is your child fond of playing the “Sky Notes” mini-game, which aims to help kids develop auditory memory? Or maybe they’re more excited by our multiplayer online game “Piano Truck”? Let us know about your kids’ preferences for educative games!
