BABY SENSES: EXPLORING THE WORLD
Sometimes it seems
like young babies do little more than eat, sleep, cry, and generate dirty
diapers. But it only seems that way. In truth, babies
are busy using all of their senses to take in the world around them. Even
the youngest baby lying in his crib is constantly discovering things and
learning about his surroundings by listening to his parents’ voices, seeing his
mobile spinning overhead, and feeling the softness of his swaddling
blanket. In Kindermusik, we engage baby in sensory exploration by
introducing baby-safe objects (sensory bottles, chime balls, scarves, and
shakers) that support baby’s play.

Kindermusik@Home:
- Log in to your Kindermusik @ Home account, and go on a Sensory Walk, with baby!
- Then, expand baby’s exposure to different music styles,
using our Music Styles Cheat Sheet. - Next, get out your Kindermusik baby tambourine, and turn on
a favorite song from your Home CD. - Help baby explore ways to play with the tambourine.
Can he follow with his eyes, as you shake and move the tambourine from
side to side? Can baby grasp the instrument? Has she figured
out the cause & effect that when she moves the tambourine, it makes a
sound?
