CARE OF CHILDREN IN WAR
TIME
DEVELOPING APPRECIATION
THROUGH MUSIC AND ART

Rhythmatic play and appreciat-
ion of music are as important in
the development of the young child
as in the adult, Rhythmatic move
ments are a great pleasure to most
children-singing, marching, keep
ing time to music with hands and
feet or bodies. Thus they learn 10
appreciate and respond to rhythm,
to recognize and reproduce musical
sounds. Such activities help to
develop love of music as well as
skillful S Of the body. IN
schools it is called training the
ear" or music training, but ev-
cry child who plays the singing,
dancing games of childhood is get
ting his ear as well as his muscles
trained. Ball bouncing games and
hopping games are also Of the
rhythmatic type.
At the Howard Kennedy Nursery
School we teach the child to en-
joy form and color, to draw, how
ever crudely and to make colored
blocks. Children learn to develop
their sense of touch by letting the
sand run through their fingers,
shaping mud pies, or tenderly
smoothing a piece of satin or vel
vet that they find in the sewing
box. Even a very young child may
get great pleasure out of beautiful
sounds and shapes and colors. Mu-
steal instruments are a part of the
nursery equipment. The children
enjoy marching to the piano and
listening to the victrola.
One Of the most enjoyable activ-
tiles at the Howard Kennedy Child
Care Center is the rhythm band.
Tots from 2 to 6 years old are in
Guided. 1t is remarkable how prac-
ticing these simple instruments to-
gether brings out rhythmic qualit-
les that had not been discovered in
the children.
