Hello Families,

Children acquire a lot of knowledge when they experience learning through music, cooking, exploring, building and creating!

And throughout this week we’ll be doing just that, because we’re celebrating the week of the Young Child! Please be inspired by the activities below!

Sincerely,

Ms. Delonie

Music Monday! 3 children playing musical instruments | Music for kids, Free clip art

Let your children dig out your pots and pans themselves, this is half the fun!

Choose some utensils to play with, again, let your child pick them out.

You can also grab a wooden spoon and a plastic cups. Making sure to have a few different materials to bang the pots with: metal, plastic, rubber, and wood.

You can try many different ways of pounding:

-Do the different utensils sound different?

-Does is sound different if the pots are upside down?

-What if you stack them on top of each other?

-What about with your bare hands? Can they make noise?
