Sing with My Tambourine
Parent and child create a simple tambourine from recycled materials and sing favorite songs together. The agent coaches the parent to observe musical memory, instrument identification, and melodic recall — building early musical skills and joyful parent-child interaction.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Gather materials: two plastic plates, dried rice/beans, cardstock/paper, crayons, scissors, tape. Choose a clean, open workspace where child can decorate and shake the tambourine safely. Have favorite songs in mind to sing.
