Have you noticed each week that we are enjoying familiar activities in new ways? Last week we played sticks, bells, and egg shakers at just the right time to the recording “We are Fine Musicians.” This week we pretended to play the instruments featured on this same recording. Repetition of something familiar along with a new twist strengthens the development of your child’s brain.
“We Are Fine Musicians,” on your Home CD, will quickly become a family favorite! Bring Kindermusik home this week and find new ways to experience this song. Your older child might enjoy finding pictures of instrument families on the computer. Or, turn those left over boxes into instrument art projects—make a cardboard guitar or trumpet. Your toddler is on the move! So funnel that need to move into an energetic motion that goes along to the sound of a specific instrument—instrument aerobics for toddlers. You’ll be tuning ears as well as bodies!
