Drums, Cymbals and Percussion

Experiences Appropriate For The Preschool Years

Encouraging preschool age children to attend school on a weekly basis will aid their development of social skills dramatically. Having other children under the age of five to play with helps them to develop at a more rapid pace. The extra movement and activity will stimulate their cognitive functions and they will imitate their peers. After the imitation stage a child develops initiative and that is nurtured in the preschool environment.

Although some children may benefit from watching a graphic LCD, most prefer to get involved in physical activities. Hands on learning experiences keep children engaged and developing at their own pace. Cognitive development in particular flourishes with communication and connection with others.

Listening experiences can be planned for the child’s maximum enjoyment by including movement and musical instruments. Home made shakers are easy to create with an old plastic sauce bottle and a few small rocks or pebbles. So are clappers and cymbals, which can be made from sticks found in the garden and saucepan lids from the kitchen. Playing along to dreadnought acoustic guitar, children will be delighted with the noise and they should be praised for their participation occasionally.

To make them feel like they are part of a social group, have music organised for them to play along with. Songs suitable for preschoolers include nursery rhymes, some modern pop music (this will have to be screened) and classical. About fifteen minutes to half an hour depending on the interest demonstrated by the child, is enough to have the children become involved in the experience. Musical activities are appreciated by children no matter how young.

The rooms for children to explore can have a multitude of exciting things ready and waiting for them to come and play. Blocks set up to appeal to the construction instincts of a preschooler will be dived upon by both boys and girls wanting to create. Towers and bridges and build ‘em up and knock ‘em down is a lot of fun. Their fine motor skills are helping develop the tiny muscles in their hands, they are focusing and coordinating eye and hand movement. Play-dough is another favorite activity that can be home made. Non toxic materials should be used as young children learn through putting everything in their mouth. Eating the play-dough and paints are a normal exploratory function of a preschooler.

Another much loved pastime of children is to use scrapbooking tools and materials to create their masterpieces. Loads of praise should be piled onto the child who cuts and pastes and draws and colors. Works of art need to be placed where they can be seen so the child knows they are appreciated. The child’s self esteem rises with the knowledge their work has a place of importance in the family home – as they do.

The focus for adults assisting children in learning has changed over the years. To be shown respect and disciplined with verbal direction, to be loved and not smothered is to give the child opportunity to learn for themselves. Demonstrating how to behave and how to do things is what a child is looking for in a guardian. Care can be given without taking anything away from their chance to grow.
