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
Parent and child sitting together at a table or on the floor. Materials: two plastic plates, dried rice/beans, tape, optional crayons/stickers. Space should allow for shaking and singing without restrictions.
