Ooooh . . . we’re in the double digits now (yes, I’m a dork and get excited about things like this)! So many great link-ups at last week’s Stress-Free Sunday. Based on those shares, I’m going to focus on some musical activities for kids! Letting children express themselves through music, movement, and dance is so very important! Please take a moment to check these great ideas out for yourselves!
Building Language through Music {Twodaloo}
Musical Sensory Shaker Bottle {House of Burke}
Giant Chalk Keyboard {And Next Comes L}
Seven other musical activities for the kiddos from some awesome bloggers . . .
Recycled Outdoor Music Station {My Nearest and Dearest}
Classical Train Music {Play Trains!}
Exploring Sound: Making a Kazoo {Buggy and Buddy}
Exploring Sound with Homemade Egg Shakers {Fun at Home with Kids}
Earth Day Song {Fantastic Fun and Learning}
Sorting Sprinkles has a “Composer of the Month” for each of her homeschool units. Recently, she featured Vivaldi.
Rubberboots and Elf Shoes shares some musical anecdotes from her childhood, along with her class’ favorite songs.
Feel free to check out my “Music & Dance for Kiddos” Pinterest board! I’ll be adding more pins to this board as I come across fun activities.

May 27, 2013 at 11:41 pmThanks, Chelsey! I appreciate you taking the time to pop over here. My son likes to peruse my recent posts sometimes. When he was looking at this one, he wanted to know why we hadn’t made kazoos yet! It’s near the top of our summer to-do list. 🙂
