This book combines music and text to share a version of the traditional song "If you're happy and you know it". Including different motions and sounds that you and your child could imitate. This allows for a child to make meaning by connecting Australian native animals and their characteristics through a format they are familiar with. Left is the link of a storytelling group reading the book allowed. There are many books that connect with music and movement for the early years. They can share various nursery rhymes, encourage the use of instruments helping children to recognise sound and reaction.

Why not extend on music by making an instrument with your child. It can be simple as some spoons to bang together or on pots and pans. Go on a walk outside in nature find some sticks to use or collect smaller objects and recycle your old bottles with various objects to shake and create a variety of sounds.

Maybe you have notice your child particularly loves a song and they sing it lots or are practicing the sounds. You can encourage them to further their learning by creating play spaces that foster the interest for example if they are interested in animal noises setting up a zoo or farm where they could reenact the song with physical symbols. If you don't have access to lots of toys or don't have much room you could print pictures or use a borrow and return system at your local toy library.

In journal Emotional sounds and the brain: the neuro-affective foundations of musical appreciation (Panksepp and Bernatzky, 2002) it shares research about an infants reaction to change of rhythm in music as early as six months can impact their heart rate. It shares about the connection of movement being almost involuntary when the brain is stimulated by music. A child's appreciation for music is being developed prior to verbal and non-verbal signs. Therefore music is a critical part of stimulating a child's language and cognitive development.

Key development that can be benefitted from music and movement at 2-4:
Moves to music, Copies words and actions, Begins to make music- sing and dance Symbolic Play, Begins to count with numbers and Imitates rhythm.
This collectively is developing cognitive, physical and language abilities.

For example, a 0-4month old is looking towards the direction of a sound (moving the head towards). They are beginning to imitate adult tongue movement when being held or talked to. This is a foundation for social and cognitive development.

The developmental milestones booklet is accessible with the link below. This is a useful tool to guide you on what your child can do or is most likely working towards. You can then use it to enhance the choices you make for example notice a one-year-old is beginning to cooperate with play, whilst wanted to learn using parallel play. Singing a song such as Row Row your Boat encourages the child to participate and work together.
