Music & Movement with Babies: Pathways

Focus - PATHWAYS IN MOVEMENT



Toddlers are kinesthetic learners.  They learn by moving, and doing!  In movement activities, like our If I Were a Raindrop dance, we're maximizing your child's spatial awareness by helping her to experience different pathways in her movement.  By labeling the movement pathway you are taking, you are also building your child's vocabulary, and his understanding of what he is experiencing in class.  These experiences, which connect vocabulary and movement, will build both vocabulary and movement skills.

On our blog - did you know that movement activates the brain?

Kindermusik@Home:

  • Log in to your Kindermusik @ Home account, and talk words of position, with your child! 
  • Then, have some fun with a hulahoop :) 
  • Get out a throw blanket (or a bed-sheet) and take your child around the house on a blanket ride!  Will you take a straight, or curvy path?  Turn on the Waddaly Atcha song from your home CD, and ride away!
