So lovely to get feedback from parents. Today I was told how “Listen!” and “Peekaboo” were used to help in toddler co-operation at home. And how a lovely friendship was born... https://t.co/HiCigBM63Y

AMAZING fundraising for Children In Need £50.5million PLUS the £155.70 from our week PLUS 20% of photo sales from Alison Forbes Photography too. Many thanks to everyone who’s contributed!🤗👍

Super-fun at the Christchurch classes today. Alison magically found a smile in every photo and we REALLY enjoyed the Balloon Sound Sack! Don’t forget to bring your coins for the Pudsey pot this week!

"Finger Cymbals ringing all around...." These are one of our 'tapping' sounds, a high pitched instrument, small enough for little hands to explore.

I went to the Jungle and what did I see?! Using the sounds "Sssss" "Thud, Thud" and "Roaaaaaaarrrr" this week! 🐍🐘🦁🤗

[Heather Smith @MusicalStepsDor]

Even with this fabulous weather the ‘colds’ season has started🤧😩! Many parents ask if they can bring their child to class with a cold. Well I think if your child has a 😁 and is not streaming then 👍 but if you have this 😢 then 👎!

Everyone LOVES 'Peekaboo'!
We sing it for every age group from the littlest newborns to the big children hiding their parents. What does it teach us? Doing an action 'on cue' and it's lots of FUN!

[Heather Smith @MusicalStepsDor]

Awww that was so much fun! Fantastic to see so many little ‘uns and their families from the classes at the Mini BSO outdoor concert today. We tapped and clapped and some even went on stage to join in the percussion. ☀️Sunshine & 🎼music (& snacks!) a winning combination!🤗
