Making Music Around the House

As a fun and creative outlet for you and your little ones, making music around the house can be a fun game! Getting kids involved with music & rhythm introduces them to a whole new world!
The obvious "instruments" are pots and pans... but some other great ones are:
  • Altoids or safety capped vitamins make great moroccas! (I duct taped around the entire thing to prevent choking) "shake it, shake it, skate it!"
  • Empty paper towel rolls make good microphones, or just fun sounds to them well singing into it
  • Using your hand against your lips teaches them echo sounds
If you want to actually get some instruments, I have found children Pianos and guitars are big hits!
