Kitchen Band Jam

How it works

1. 1

   First, let's introduce the spoons. Hand your child one wooden spoon and keep the other yourself. Gently tap your spoon against their spoon to make a soft 'clack' sound.

2. 2

   Now let's try banging! Show your child how to tap their spoon gently on the plastic bowl. Make a 'tap-tap' sound and smile.

3. 3

   Time for two-handed play! Offer your child the second spoon. See if they tries to bang them together or bang both on the bowls.

4. 4

   Let's explore cause and effect! Bang your spoon on your bowl, then pause and look at your child expectantly. See if they imitates you or creates their own pattern.
