Need help in progressing

I have a 2 year old (his birthday is in a few days). He started playing 'softmozart - Hot cross buns' on and off for the past few months.

He is playing the green notes (or treble notes) in his right hand. He is able to score 11 flowers (or 7 flowers, not sure as I am right now in my office) and the right side of the screen showed 38 (is this seconds?).

Please, keep recording his score. It is very important!
Date
Song
Score ____________/ ______________
On the left - amount of right notes plaid - on the right - time
BTW, time 38 for a toddler is an outstanding score!

I think he plays this song pretty good with his right hand in one finger.

Did you consider starting teaching him fingers' exercises?

But I don't think he is right now ready to play the bass clef notes as it contains chords. He is trying but it is a difficult one for him at the moment.

Please, take a look at this video. Teaching toddlers to play chords is not as hard as you think!

So what should be my next step? Should I move onto another song, so that he can practise fluently with his right hand

Yes! Let him play as many songs as possible from Introductory songs and Nursery Primer.

or should I allow him to play only 'Hot cross buns' until his left hand matures to play chords.

With the approach that been shown on the video above he will learn left hand pretty fast.

1. If I can progress onto next song, can you suggest another simple song like hot cross buns.

French Song, Jingle Bells, Ode to Joy

2. Btw, how does one record the score of the game. I really don't understand this part.

Wile playing the games, watch the time bar on the bottom left part of the computer screen. Set the goal to play 1, 2 or 3 minutes. When the time is expired, press F1 on your computer keyboard to stop the game. Write the results (amount of points in the 'treasure chest') down

Next time play the same game for the same amount of time and write the score again. See, how numbers are progressing. Give each game 1 month to master.

Sorry for using any non-technical terms as I am naive in music.

Thank you for using non technical terms! Let us help you!
I can't wait to see your baby's video!

Do I have to sing both bass and treble cleff notes? If so, it becomes too weird to say 'do, sol, mi' (including the chords in bass cleff) for the first line in hot cross buns song.

Or should I just sing the treble cleff notes (which are easy for me to sing). For eg., while singing hot cross buns in solfege, I just sing 'mi, re, do; mi, re, do; do, do, do; re, re, re; mi, re, do.
