Toys I Make-Trips I Take

Week 4

Dear Imagine That! Parent:

Imagination and creativity can do almost anything.

That’s why in class we made our own instruments. For a preschooler, the ability to create her own instrument gives her a sense of accomplishment and pride. She uses her own unique ideas—her creativity—and solves problems by herself.

Playing her instrument in front of others lets her express herself in a safe, supportive environment. She also practices being a good friend and listener to others. In our wonderful band, she experiences the joy of making music together—that’s powerful learning from something as simple as an empty oatmeal container and beans.

Thank you for sharing your family’s imagination with me. See you next week!
