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)

  2. What 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!
