Spotlight on Learning: Village Class (ages newborn - 18 months)
By exploring with sound, babies and young toddlers practice their visual
thinking skills or spatial-reasoning skills. Good visual thinking skills are
essential for a child to later excel in math, science, and geography. We spend
time in Kindermusik doing this together by playing different instruments and
experimenting with lots of sounds, such as the different bird calls we
"sing" together. In fact, children participating in Kindermusik
tripled spatial-reasoning skills during a recent research project.
Everyday
connection:
Be a Sound Explorer with your child. How many different sounds can a bath book, baby spoon, and Kindermusik Chime Ball make? Does a sippy cup with milk make the same sound as a sippy cup filled with cereal? What items on your changing table make sounds that can entertain your baby during a diaper change?
