What do children learn from sounds?
Develop their motor skills and coordination. Learn about different sounds, instruments and music. Hone their memory skills through practice and repetition. Learn about emotions and express their feelings.
Why is exploring important for toddlers?
Exploring also gives toddlers a chance to work on important motor skills. Whether it's kicking a ball or climbing stairs, they can persist until they get it right. Doing so not only adds skills, it boosts their sense of confidence and competence. In other words, they begin to think: "I can do it!"
What are two activities that explore everyday sounds?
Help your child hone in on the sounds you're hearing, both natural and human-made. Explore every day sounds that interest your child, such as watching the dump truck work, or scouting out the nest of the bird in the tree. Packing Bubbles Pop Play: Tape down a sheet of packing bubbles and tiptoe or stomp across them.
