STEPS:
-
As you sing one of your child’s favorite songs, draw a simple picture of what is happening in the lyrics, and point to the drawing when you sing the part that it’s based on.
-
Let your child try drawing anything that is in their mind when they (or you) sing the song. Ask them what they are drawing, why they are drawing it, and how are they drawing it.
-
Go back and forth until the song ends.
-
Collect all the drawings and make them into an album.
-
Take them out over and over- toddlers love repetition!
