Description
This Set of Seed Shakers will support children’s introduction to the music area as they play and experiment with the sounds that these traditional musical instruments create, understanding cause and effect as they shake the instrument. As children explore the instruments, they will begin to recognise the texture of sound and the tone an object makes.
The natural seed shakers use natural seeds strung together with brightly coloured string or beading to create an enticing instrument for children to pick up and explore. Fairtrade and handmade in Asia using natural materials, the instruments are an inviting early years resource. The larger seed shakers have a wrist loop for ease of children’s hands. They offer a lower pitch sound while the smaller seed shakers offer a wooden stick handle and a higher pitch tone to enable children to compare the sounds and pitch.
The Set of Seed Shakers are an excellent and fun motivation for increasing physical activity. Children will engage in moving their bodies as they dance to a beat and rhythm or use the resource to create games that require music to stop and start such as musical statues.
The Music Area is an invaluable area for active learning in EYFS and KS1. Exploring sound, dance and rhythm is a highly creative experience where children can express their ideas and feelings through another media.
Boost creative expression and support personal, social and emotional development in your classroom with this inviting early years resource set.
