Make the Most Out Of It!
Enjoy quality time doing craft and exploring sound and music!
Show your child videos of different rain sounds -rain in the forest, jungle rain, rainstorm, soft rain – and talk of how the same things might sound quite different.
Get creative together with your child! Color and decorate the rainsticks with different colors, washy tape, and stickers!
Try making a few rainsticks with different “fillings” – lentils, small pasta, rice etc. and explore the different sounds they make.
Play songs you like and let your child play along is an amazing way to make your little one engage with music!
