At home this week, engage your child in now familiar activities such as Roly Poly, Itsy Bitsy Mouseykins, Tall as a Tree and the Lento y rapido dance (Home CD 1, track 20). Also, this would be a good time to renew (or continue!) interest in the Fiddlesticks. You and your child can share them by each holding one and tapping them together as you listen to The Tailor and the Mouse (Home CD 1, track 25). What other ways can you find to play the Fiddlesticks? Try gently tapping them on several different surfaces (a carpeted floor, a bed, a plastic bucket, etc.) and compare the sounds. Perhaps you can even compare their sound to the sound of other items such as two spoons tapped together. Notice, also, the different sound you can make by shaking them!
