🎶 It’s Sounds week!
Gathering a selection of instruments is a great way for our Tots to explore sounds, we can also help them to identify different instrument sounds in the songs they hear.
💖 Can you help your tot play the instrument loudly and then softly? Can you play fast and then slow? Can you make the instrument sound different by playing it in different ways?
You can have so much fun at home with your little one just using simple musical instruments to engage them, and help them learn about different sounds too! 🥁
For younger Tots, why not build a sounds treasure basket - look at different ways of making sound. You could try:
🥄Tapping - tapping different spoons onto a bowl, or the same spoon onto different surfaces.
🪇Shaking - pop different items into similar containers or the same item into different containers does it sound different or similar.
🪗Squeezing - do you have any squeaky toys that need a squeeze to sound, or a drink bottle that makes a noise when squeezed, rustling paper or a foil blanket can also fall into this category.
🔀Twisting, turning, rolling - some items require specific actions to trigger them.
What can you find?
🎶 Each class also includes yoga, signing, physical play, music and story massage.
🫧 And it wouldn't be a Tots Play class without bubbles & Totsy cuddles! 🐒
