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.

Use our beautifully illustrated flash cards to explore the names of different musical instruments. How do you think that the instrument is played? How do you think the instrument will sound?

Take the children on a walk and encourage them to listen carefully to the sounds that they hear. Remind the children how to be good listeners and discuss the importance of listening carefully when they are outside. When you return from your walk, make a list of the things that you heard.

This is a great way for children to think about their favourite sounds and record what they like and what they don’t like pictorially. If you have more than one child, you could compare their favourite sounds or rank them in order of popularity.

These environmental sounds flash cards are a great discussion point and can be used to extend children’s vocabulary and develop their understanding of the world. Use them before a listening walk to make predictions about what noises the children think that they might hear.
