Young children LOVE playing rhythm instruments! It's a uniquely age-appropriate way for them to experience the joy of music. As they tap, shake, rattle, and roll, they're developing listening skills, eye-hand coordination, and awareness of cognitive concepts. This comprehensive kit has everything the classroom teacher needs to get started. Children will explore a variety of sounds with the wonderful assortment of instruments. My book provides fun rhythm instrument activities for toddlers through kindergartners. And delightful stories included in the set contain catchy rhythms to inspire even more musical creativity!
