To complete this activity, you will need a previously wrapped can, material to decorate, and two tongue depressors. you, watch your child closely — I'd love to hear what you notice about how they responds.

Great, now let's try the next part. To begin this activity, give your son or daughter the previously wrapped can. Explain that you'll be making a drum, which you will have to decorate. Give him or her materials and glue to decorate the drum, and help him or her if necessary. Tell me what your child does — any reaction counts!

One more thing to try. Once the drum is finished, give your child a couple of tongue depressors, so he or she may use them as drum sticks, and let him or her enjoy by playing his or her little drum. During this exercise, observe if your toddler uses different materials while decorating, and draws and paints using his or her fingers. Use kinadu to stimulate roping your child every day. How does your child handle this? What do you see?
