How it works
- 1
Let's begin by making some simple sounds together. Tap a pot gently with a spoon and ask your child to copy you. Then, try a different rhythm—like fast taps or slow beats. Observe how they listens and responds.

Now, let's play some music (or make your own with the instruments) and move to it! Ask your child how the music makes them feel and encourage them to move their body to match that feeling—like jumping for happy or swaying for calm.
- 3
Let's change the music (or rhythm) to something different—like slow and soft or fast and loud. Ask your child to describe how this new music makes them feel compared to before.

Now, let's create a 'feelings song' together. Choose a feeling (like happy, silly, or calm) and make up a rhythm or tune with your instruments that matches it. Talk about why you chose those sounds.
