You say the activity is for under '2s - so keep it very simple.
Children of this age love music and movement - they can make it up as they go along.

How about playing 'Happy' music from Africa, Jamaica or a country of your choice and provide floaty ribbons or scraves for them to interact and join in the music. This activity will be assessible to under '2s that are sitting down and not yet walking and also special needs children so you include everyone by treating them individually and you are also providing an activity using music from another culture.
Another time you play the music you could provide a range of musical instruments including home made ones.

If your setting doesn't have a variety of musical cds, then you'll find them on the high street, a local charity shop or amazon.
