Don’t forget to comment on the giveaway here!
I think babies and children naturally love music, don’t you? My 11 month old starts bouncing and swaying all over the place whenever she hears music. I want to encourage her in every way, so every day, we turn on the radio to a good dance music station and we dance all over the place. (Even though, after persistent prodding on my part, my husband recently confessed to me that I am not a good dancer. He’s right, by the way).
We also have a piano in the house, which she wanders over to nearly every day.
Today, she found our guitar which has been collecting dust behind the couch since before she was born. As I sat blogging, I suddenly heard gentle guitar noises as she plucked and hit the strings. I was so excited that she figured out what the guitar does all on her own! Knowing her curious fingers could damage it, I still pulled it out and let her explore.
When she started to use it as a climbing gym, exploration time was over!
How do you encourage your children to explore and appreciate music?

This post makes me laugh…my little boy is the same way. We have a keyboard that he loves to play. Although…he tens to get a little bored after a few minutes and starts to climb on it too.
Silly babies.
“tends”…oopsy! I always read my spelling after I submit!
I let Savannah listen to music in my car REALLY LOUD! lol
