Pagan and other Earth-centered religious traditions honor the playfulness and joy of the human experience as sacred. Children love to make music and it can give them a sense of the Divine creator in themselves. Learning to use rhythm instruments can foster that joy. Making rattles and other musical instruments can be fun projects for the whole family. The instruments can be used in worship as well as informal play.
Chants are also common in worship and they are easy to learn.
Sing with children anytime. Collections of stones, leaves, or any other curiosities, can provide the start of an altar. Children also enjoy making their own ritual objects. When a child's creation is added to a place of honor in the family's religious practice it can take on even greater significance. Telling Our Stories Children love to tell and hear stories.
