The three or four year old child has a disposition of curiosity and will conduct thorough investigations when given the chance. This kind of learning strengthens thinking skills which can then be transferred to any other learning experience.
Craft activities such as making shaker instruments encourage creativity, self expression, planning making choices, problem solving, experimentation, concentration and sequencing. It also assists with the development of fine motor skills, which are essential for later development of writing skills and everyday living skills.
This week your child will have fun making a shaker instrument. Making and exploring shaker instruments will provide opportunities for your child to learn and discover by finding new information, making comparisons, categorizing, conducting sound experiments and talking about his or her findings. Plan for your child to bring the homemade shaker instrument to class next time.
