How it works

  1. 1

    First, let's create our instruments. Show your child how to tap the wooden spoon gently on the plastic bowl to make a drum sound. Then, if you have rice or beans, put some in the plastic container and close the lid to make a shaker. Let's see what sounds your child can create!

  2. 2

    Now let's add some movement! Play a simple rhythm with your instrument and encourage your child to move they body to the beat. You can start with something easy like 'tap-tap-clap' or use the shaker rhythm. Let's see how your child responds to the music with movement.

  3. 3

    Let's turn this into a performance! Ask your child to create a short music and dance routine. your child can use the instruments, add voice sounds if they wants, and create special dance moves. You be the audience while your child performs!

  4. 4

    Now let's make it a duet! Create a call-and-response pattern where you make a sound or movement, and your child copies or responds with something different. Then switch roles so your child leads and you follow!
