Great way to encourage kids
Great way to encourage kids to learn the beat of the music! Takes me back to my tambourine days. Will be fun to see all the designs that my preschoolers come up with. :-)Thanks for all your activities! I'm looking forward to the Christmas ones.Betsy
Thank you!
Hi Betsy,
I am so glad you like it. Max is really into music, so I am hoping activities like these keep encouraging his exploration of it. And, I have some fun Christmas ones planned. Stay tuned.
