My 5 year old loved the rhythm sticks! We don't have the other instruments but plan to buy them soon. He seemed to like "Simon Says" and "Quiet as mouse" the best.

Mrs. Connors has done a fabulous job simplifying a music program for any pre-k parent or teacher. She provides ample information and evidence in regard to the benefits of music during early childhood. The book is divided in half. The first half is how to play rhythm instruments and the second is about moving with the music. Instruments such as rhythm sticks, shakers, bells and drums are introduced with a short explanation of the benefits of each instrument as well as how to play them. Songs then follow the descriptions. Spanish words and songs with sign language are also presented in the book.

The product develops, imagination, fine motor skills, improvisation, social skills, rhythm, gross motor skills, patterns and pattern recognition, auditory processing, body awareness, and much more.
