Music Makers for young children

1. Sing a lullaby to calm your child.
2. Let your child bang a spoon on pots, pans, or plastic bowls; shake a large rattle or plastic container filled with beans, buttons, or other noisy items; and blow through empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls.
3. Have your children take part in nursery rhymes. They can copy your hand movements, clap, or hum along.
4. Encourage your child to sway and dance to music.
5. Encourage your child to sing. Pick a simple melody such as “Mary Had a Little Lamb.”
