π₯ 5 things your toddler learns when they make A LOT of noise! π
If your toddler has discovered that EVERYTHING makes a noise when you bang itβ¦ welcome to the percussion phase! π
But that enthusiastic banging, tapping, shaking and drumming isn't just noise. There's actually a LOT of learning going on!
π΅ 1. LOUD & SOFT
They're beginning to discover that they can control how much sound they make - and that the same instrument can sound very different depending on how they play it.
π 2. LISTENING
When we ask our toddlers to make a sound and then stop⦠they're practising listening, attention and responding to instructions.
ποΈ 3. COORDINATION
Picking up, holding, shaking, tapping and hitting instruments helps develop hand-eye coordination and control.
π§ 4. CAUSE & EFFECT
βI hit itβ¦ and it makes a sound!β
They're learning that their actions can create a result - a really important early learning concept.
πΆ 5. MUSICAL CONFIDENCE
They're discovering that THEY can make music! There isn't always a right or wrong way to explore a sound, and that freedom helps build confidence and creativity.
And that's exactly what we're exploring in Jolly Toddlers this term - LOUD & SOFT! ππ€«
So the next time your toddler is enthusiastically drumming on a saucepan, banging their toys together or experimenting with just how loud they can possibly beβ¦
Remember - they're not just making noise.
They're learning through music. β€οΈ
