Play to learn

MATH

Research tells us children learn best through play. It’s only natural that children are more open to learning when they are happy, and more likely to remember a fun experience.

Let’s Make Music!

Music is math!

Tube Rain Stick Step 1: Decorate a wrapping paper or paper towel tube.

Step 2: Cut a piece of aluminum foil the length of the tube.

Step 3: Squeeze the foil to make a long snake.

Step 4: Cut the tip off of two balloons.

Box Guitar Step 1: Decorate a shoe or tissue box.

Step 2: Cut a 3-4 inch square or circle hole in side.

Step 3: Wrap 4-6 rubber bands around the box over the hole.

Step 4: Insert a pencil at each end of the hole under the rubber bands. (They make it sound better.)

Give your child the best start in life with quality childhood educators that use story, dramatic play and hands-on experience to lead children to learning.

Step 6: Insert the foil snake. Pour rice or small dried foods into the tube.

Step 7: Use the second balloon to close the other end.

Step 8: Slowly rotate from one end to the other to make a magical rain sound.

Step 5: Strum away!

TP Tube Kazoo Step 1: Decorate a toilet paper tube.

Step 2: Cut a piece of wax paper about an inch larger than the bottom of the tube.

Step 3: Cover one end of the tube with the wax paper and secure it with a rubber band.

Child care providers are your partners in preparing your child for kindergarten and a future bright with opportunity.

Step 5: Stretch one balloon to cover one end of the tube and secure it with a rubber band.

Step 4: Blow through the open end and start up the kazoo marching band!

Materials: Favorite decorating papers Stickers (optional) Glue Markers Pencils Scissors (may need adult help) Shoe or tissue box Rubber bands

Toilet paper tube Wax paper Wrapping paper or paper towel tube Balloons Aluminum foil Dry foods: peas, beans, rice or popcorn
