These colouring in sheets are great for practising listening to the initial sounds in words. Discuss the pictures with the children beforehand to ensure that they know what each thing is. This is also great for extending children’s vocabulary and introducing new words.
You will need to gather up the musical instruments on the picture cards. Print the picture cards – you might want to laminate them if you are going to use them more than once. Set up a screen or a box so that the children cannot see which instrument you are using.
Make learning about music hands on fun with these playdough mats. Encourage the children to use different colours and to decorate their musical notes using beads, sequins or feathers.
