Group singing enhances social skills while dance improves coordination and helps develop the large muscles. Learning new and creative dance steps or letting the children perform their own dance encourages creative thinking and independence. More than anything else, music is portable. You can sing along the walk to the park, in the car, while washing up for meals, or standing in line at the zoo. Instruments such as guitars, flutes, recorders, etc.
All children love books.
Flipping through the pages, looking at the colourful pictures, picking out different objects, colours, shapes, animals, and words is just half the fun. The reading or book centre is also a place where a child can escape the hustle and bustle of the daycare centre or home and enjoy a few minutes of quiet and self-absorption. A good book centre contains an assortment of picture books, nursery rhyme books, number and counting books, and so on. The more you have to offer, the more you can pique a child's interest in reading. If you are not sure what books to buy, take the children on a trip to your local library and talk to the librarian.
