“Seeing is believing,” especially for preschoolers. The music corner will become more lively and engaging than ever if equipped with homemade toys, which are both cost-effective and full of personality. So how to “transform” simple materials into unique musical toys for your beloved child? Let’s explore! Similar to preschooler napping at school, creating a friendly and stimulating learning environment is extremely important.
Explore the World of Sound Through Homemade Toys
The music corner in preschool is not just a place for children to play but also a place to nurture young musical talents. Making musical corner toys yourself not only helps children develop their sense of sound and fine motor skills but also sparks their rich imagination. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a preschool education expert with over 20 years of experience, shared in her book “Music and Children”: “Music is the language of the soul. Let children freely explore and express themselves through music.”
Simple & Easy DIY Music Corner Toy Instructions
“If you want to know, ask; if you want to excel, learn.” Below are a few suggestions for making music corner toys from readily available materials that can be found right in your home. For example, discarded plastic bottles, milk cartons, and soda cans can all become unique musical instruments. Let’s get started!
1. Maracas From Plastic Bottles
With just a few plastic bottles, some rice, beans, or beads, you can create colorful maracas. Pour the grains into the bottles, tighten the caps, and decorate them to your child’s liking. This activity helps children practice dexterity and meticulousness. For those interested in preschool plant theme pictures, incorporating natural elements into musical toys is also a great idea.
2. Xylophone From Glass Bottles
Choose glass bottles of different sizes, pour water into them with varying amounts to create different pitches. Children can use a wooden mallet to tap on the bottles to create fun melodies. Mr. Pham Van Hung, a lecturer in the Preschool Education Department at Hanoi National University of Education, emphasized the importance of exposing children to many different types of sounds in his article “Music Development for Preschool Children.”
This has similarities to preschool staircase paintings as both aim to create a lively and child-friendly learning environment.
3. Drum From Milk Cartons
Yogurt and fresh milk cartons after being washed can become cute little drums. Stretch a piece of plastic wrap over the mouth of the carton and secure it with a rubber band. Children can use their hands or mallets to tap on the drum surface to create sounds. Similar to images of corner activities in preschool, a homemade music corner will help children have more fun and enriching experiences.
