The Savvy Quiz for your-child
Music:

Hide/Show Overview

What is the surest way to a young child's heart? Singing, of course. Add a few dance moves or a musical instrument, and you're in, for sure. Parents and educators have known for a long long time that there's no better way to soothe, delight or teach preschool age children than through music. Silly songs, counting songs, alphabet songs, rounds and lullabies - we love to sing them with our kids, and they learn so much from them! What have your kids picked up from all of this music-making? And what other tunes or instruments might inspire our young songsters?
