Most children LOVE music!! The library has CDs available to borrow, appropriate for all age groups. There are also music DVDs! The radio is another good option, and Barney, on PBS always has great sing along songs.
-Create instruments out of pots and pans, spoons, plastic containers, dry beans, paper plates, whatever you have in your home.
-The library also has puzzles available for different age groups. Some are to be used at the library but others can be checked out and used at home.
-Make a drawing into a puzzle but cutting it into shapes that can be fit back together again. The child can practice cutting or, if that’s frustrating, the adult can cut the artwork for the child. Start with a couple of pieces and work your way up to more difficult puzzles.
