FIDDLE-DEE-DEE

WEEK 12

Dear Our Time Parent:

BZZ, BZZ, BZZ! While it is important to teach our children about stinging insects, it is still possible to enjoy bumblebee pretend play. Our Kindermusik bumblebee activities focus on vocal sounds, both loud and quiet, and on fine motor skills. The development of fine motor skills (finger movements) is essential in increasing a child’s ability to manipulate small objects such as crayons, a toothbrush, a fork, etc. These skills may also later translate into the ability to use the fingers to play musical instruments such as the flute, piano, or cello.

Fingerplays are a great way to enhance fine motor development and a great way to entertain your child while riding in the car, waiting in the grocery line, or just spending quiet time together. Have a good time with the following activities involving finger movements: I Saw a Little Rabbit, Itsy Bitsy Mouseykins, Ten Fluffy Chicks, Listen to the Bee’s Song/Buzz Upon the Flower and the American Sign Language sign for butterfly.
