Toddlers through School Age
We had an absolute blast in music class today using some very fun "tappers"! I found a neat idea online that used small elastic strips and washers. To make "tappers", I simply strung one washer on a short strip of elastic and glued the ends together. I then had a small band that could slide over the tip of each shoe! The washer is slid to the bottom of the foot, and makes a great "tapping sound"! We had a very fun time doing different activities with our tappers. To start the class, we watched the funny cow video below. Then we talked about tapping rhythms and tried tapping to several songs; "Who's that tapping at my window?" and "Hickory Dickory Dock". Check out our awesome tap video below that highlights all of the fun things we did in class today!
