Sound Garden

Parent plays different gentle sounds for baby — crinkling paper, tapping a glass, humming, shaking a jar of rice — and the agent coaches the parent to observe baby's reactions to different timbres, volumes, and rhythms. This activity explores early aesthetic sensitivity through auditory experience.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need
