Plus, music is calming and just plain fun!\u00a0Here are some tried and true ways to involve your preschooler in music.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Start with the classics for preschoolers to remember.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preschoolers enjoy singing along to songs that are easy for them to remember, especially those with upbeat, repetitive melodies and lyrics.\u00a0Start with classic, simple songs, such as \u201cIf You\u2019re Happy and You Know It,\u201d \u201cThe Wheels on the Bus,\u201d \u201cOld MacDonald,\u201d and \u201cRain, Rain, Go Away.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Create DIY maracas.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Create your own DIY maracas with only two supplies, both of which you probably already have on hand. Fill an empty water bottle with a handful of popcorn kernels or dry beans, screw on the lid, and shake away! You can even use these makeshift maracas to teach your child all about rhythm.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Take your preschooler to a concert!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nothing is as engaging and exciting as live music.\u00a0 Why not hold a jam session in your home? This is a great way to involve other members of the family, especially older siblings who will enjoy the opportunity to show off the results of their piano or violin lessons.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Create an \u201cactive\u201d playlist.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Music is\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">also a wonderful way to keep your child active. Songs like \u201cHead, Shoulders, Knees and Toes\u201d will get your little one moving, but nothing is as fun as freeform dancing to fun upbeat music. Check out this <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/entertainment\/articles\/972061\/10-pop-songs-little-kids-can-dance-to-oh-and-parents-can-hang-too\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">playlist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of energetic, kid-friendly songs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Show your child different instruments.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can also teach your preschooler about the wide variety of instruments that can be found at your local music store. Bongo drums, a piano, and the recorder are all easy to play and fun to use.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, crank up the tunes, and enjoy the wonderful benefits music has to offer!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog and want to read more, click below for our blog from last month!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/eagle-springs\/2020\/02\/24\/read-across-america-day-favorite-preschool-books\/\"><b>Read Across America Day: Favorite Preschool Books<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/eagle-springs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Eagle Springs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Humble, Texas?
