🏡 MUSIC TIME AT HOME! 🏡🎶
This morning in our house, we had a little music time! 🥰 We grabbed our instruments and sang songs while exploring FAST, SLOW, LOUD & QUIET! 🥁🎵
You don’t need anything fancy to make music with your little one. A shaker, drum, wooden spoon, or even clapping your hands can become an instrument!
✨ Why is this so beneficial for babies and toddlers?
🎵 Fast & slow music helps little ones begin to understand rhythm, patterns, timing and listening skills.
🤫 Loud & quiet encourages babies to listen carefully, notice differences in sound and begin developing control over their own movements and voices.
🧠 Music stimulates the brain and supports early cognitive development, memory, attention and language skills.
👋 Moving, shaking and tapping along helps build fine and gross motor skills while giving little ones a fun way to explore cause and effect.
❤️ And perhaps most importantly, singing and playing together creates connection and bonding between you and your baby!
Want to add a little extra learning? Use what you already have at home! 📚🧸
When we sing about animals, we grab our stuffed animals. 🐻🐮🐶
When we sing a familiar nursery rhyme, we find a book that goes along with it. 📖
We point, name objects, make animal sounds, copy movements and let our little one participate however they can!
There are no expectations and no “perfect” way to do music at home. Just follow your little one’s lead, have fun and make memories together. 💕
Sometimes the simplest moments — a song, a shaker and a favourite stuffy — can become some of the BEST learning moments. 🎶🧸✨
Turn on some music, grab an instrument and have your own MUSIC TIME today! 🎵💛
