Musical Gloves
Sewing is an activity i have been hoping to start soon with Tara as it is one of the Montessori principles shown in 3-6 classrooms. Most of the older generations would shudder at the thought of a 2.5yr old with scissors in their hand let alone a needle and thread but i really encourage parents to give them a go at anything. Children need these opportunities to learn!
Musical gloves are simply knitted gloves with a single bell sewn on to each finger tip to create an instrument that a toddler and a newborn baby can enjoy together.
Use them for song play (twinkle twinkle) or counting practice (1,2,3,4,5 once i caught a fish alive)

What great fine motor skills! Very cute idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable idea. Im going to make some and give you credit. The toddlers will love shaking these during music time. Thank you again. I just keep finding a wonderful activity every time I look up an idea on your blog. Thank you so much!
