Reach up high and bend down low!

As the “clever cows” walk up the hill and down, we can begin teaching our children about high/low and up/down through song and movement.  Music activities are ideal for introducing both sound and movement concepts.  Today’s activities relating to up and down included Hop Up, My Baby; Clever Cows; Scarf Play; Wind in the Corn; and Yankee Doodle. 

You can extend up and down play at home with variations of your own. Just turn on the CD and dance or chant a familiar rhyme with a high voice and then with a low voice while moving your child in the corresponding direction. 

Enjoy!
