When baby Clara kicks the tambourine it goes “jingle, jingle!”
When baby Clara kicks the maraca it goes “shake, shake!”
The rhythm sticks go “tap, tap, tap!”
“Jingle, jingle, shake, shake, tap, tap, tap!”
I wander if Clara can go clap, clap, clap?
See why reading to your baby is so important from Room to Grow: Making Early Childhood Count.

I don’t read as many blogs every day as you, Deborah, but I read a lot and sometimes when I see the word “baby” in the title I skip over it since I don’t have any babies in my life, but I’m soooo glad I read this! The whole concept of a setting up some drums (and other instruments) that are designed to be kicked while lying on your back is exciting to me. I’m now thinking of how I could build something that could take kicking from a 4-year-old!
Teacher Tom´s last blog ..Making A Rainbow Room
You are always thinking of how an idea will work for you – that is what I love about you Tom!!
Hey Tom I was thinking about this too! When I taught at a Karate centre – we had a cultural childrens program – we had a tiko drum group that practiced there – their drums were made out of old rain barrels – and the sticks they used simply looked like large 2 inch dowels. I bet with your skills you could do the same – or something similar and they can definitely be laid down to be kicked – or put in many different positions!
You are going to get Tom thinking now Leeanne:)
I love your infant activities! The images are sooo sweet they make me melt to see them

I’m the with Tom, I usually skip baby titled posts…but, now that I’m expecting I’m bookmarking your cute infant activities so when my son comes around, I can do these activities with him.

LOL – I have always skipped over them too but now that I have a toddler nephew and an infant niece, I am paying attention… And congratulations on the new baby to come! How exciting:)
Hi Deborah,
I love your blog! I am doing a teacher training, and was wondering if I could use some of your lesson plans (with credit of course) as examples during our training on age-appropriate and engaging lessons/activities. Would you mind emailing to let me know if that’s alright? jhawley{at}ywcagreenville.org
Thank you!
Jessica
I have sent you an email:)
