Percussion time – Getting to grips with musical instruments
What you need
- Musical instruments
- Music to play along to
What to do
- Set out your toddler’s musical instruments and play some music.
- If possible, use a variety of drums and drumsticks, shakers, cymbals and triangles.
- Consider how your toddler holds instruments (if you can, provide some that encourage a variety of grips).
- Sit together and play along to the music.
- While you're listening to music, make sure your toddler switches and changes instruments so they can vary their grasp.
