Music Tots - Making Chatter Matter on Tuesday, February 1, is part of the national Chatterbox Challenge 2005. The children, aged six months to four years, will be mooing, baaing and clucking through Old Macdonald Had a Farm to raise money for I CAN, the charity that supports children with speech and language difficulties across the UK. Elinor Fielder from BorderActive Arts said: "We hope our Chatterbox Challenge will help people to realise how important songs and rhymes are to the early development of a child's language.''
