Music and Learning = Smarter Babies
Music stimulates children’s thinking skills, encourages creativity, and develops musical ability. Introduce music to babies by singing, humming, and chanting. It doesn’t matter if the songs are sung off-key; babies love hearing sounds, especially those made by their parents. They are also riveted by rattles and other noisemakers.
Toddlers can already clap and dance to music, so introduce them to nursery rhymes and songs they can dance to. This helps develop their motor and verbal skills.
Preschoolers love musical instruments like xylophones, drums, toy keyboards and guitars. Musical books and CD’s would also be greatly appreciated.
Experimenting with sounds stimulates a child’s brain. For example, parents can make a guitar out of rubber bands and a cereal box. Just stretch rubber bands of different thickness around the box and pluck to create sounds.
Musical toys, as we all know are very popular for the children. MUsical toys vary from those that produce soothing sounds to relax your baby’s mind, to noise-making variety that interests the child. These toys are also designed to fit in any age group.
