 
Hands On Activity!
Play with rhythm and counting; anything from a table to a tummy can be a drum.
You can always use claps, taps, and laps to keep a beat! Sing and play along with the instruments in the song or any you have.
This is a zipper song which means you can zip in and out any character, place, instrument. Like a fish in the sea can be a squirrel in a tree.
In the live Music & Movement classes, we will use this song with different instruments and different themed characters from bears to bees!
