Toddlers love to imitate their parents and friends. Much of their language is developed by doing so, here is a fun way to combine speech development and their love of music!

Instructions

First, think of a series of  easy-to-say sounds -- bam, boom, pop, bam, boom, stop -- then encourage your toddler to repeat it. after you! 

Now add in a homemade microphone for fun- a spoon, a toy, their favorite wand....You can each have one or you can pass it between the two of you!

Next, add in some patterns of loud and soft sounds - whispering, shouting, medium voices

Now act out the sound as you make it- for instance, start low to the ground with a soft sound then raise up to the sky as it gets higher or louder. 

Get creative- add in those dance steps, be silly, stamp your feet, clap your hands, twirl like a top and make a little sound music! 

Guaranteed fun!
