Sharing our beautiful musical hand bell cards for everyone to use!
Sound Waves Experiment: The String Phone
Wednesday, July 27, 2016
I think is one of the best example of explaining to a 7 year old that sound travels. I enjoyed playing with this as a young child. But instead of using styro cups, we were used tin cans which I think is more effective.
Montessori Inspired Activity: Musical Instruments
Monday, July 25, 2016
As we continue our Sound and Music Unit, I also introduced the different musical instruments. Of course, it would be best if we have all of these (LOL) or least own one, but since we don’t these beautiful musical figures from Safari Toob will do.
Montessori-Inspired Sounds and Music: The Musical Hand Bells
Sunday, July 24, 2016
Vito is 32 months old.
I prepared a few simple activities for our Sound and Music Unit. It was the week of heatwave so I grabbed the opportunity to bring the boys outside more often to practise their biking and scooting skills, and as for me, able to run and lose a few pounds LOL.
Joking aside, this musical hand bells was a favourite of Vito. He loves using just to listen to the sound it makes and at times ringing the bells together to make “music”.

Sorting Musical Instruments
Monday, July 13, 2015
Now, I just wanted to highlight this activity, of sorting musical instruments. There are lots of instruments out there, but I think it is important for the child to identify the groups or families of these instruments to understand how they work.

The Helpful Garden has this amazing file of musical instruments! It was created as a Montessori 3-part cards, but in our activity, we sorted them out according to their categories. So I started off by presenting the instruments to Mavi and how these instruments make sounds. (We also watched videos on how these instruments are being used)
