Then freeze in your third shape. Repeat the pattern three times. Try each other's shapes or make the shapes together. Provide a melodic instrument for your child such as melody bells or a small xylophone. Experiment with playing the various notes and listen to the difference in the notes that are high and low.
Children develop their understanding of pitch from the instruments that they hear and play.
Put fingerpaint, or liquid starch mixer with powdered paint on a large tray. Let your child paint directly on the tray and become familiar with the medium. After your child has enjoyed the feeling and the movement of his or her hands, lay a piece of paper on the tray, pat it, and lift a print. Have your child imagine a giant can of paint in front of him or her. Ask your child to dig in and twist fingers, hands, wrists, elbows and arms into the pretend paint can with a slow, reaching movement.
