Abstract	This study explores "toddling style" in adult-child interaction. Toddling style was conceptualised by Gunvor Løkken in relation to toddlers' playful and social style in peer groups; however, adults' position was rarely explored. Therefore, this article aims to examine adults' emotional and playful support in creating, maintaining and developing "toddling style." A cultural-historical approach and a multimodal interaction analysis is used for analysing "toddling style" in naturally occurring adult-child interaction. Video observations were made in ECEC in Australia and Finland. Drawing on three representative empirical cases, we argue that "toddling style" is a unique embodied way of being together as well as a form of play between adults and children. Findings show the importance of adults' participation in play for creating a playful community. Implications suggest the important role of adults' emotional and playful support in maintaining toddlers' exploration of "toddling style," particularly in multiparty situations. (As Provided).
