Take baby on a sound adventure

Right up until your baby goes to bed you can be exploring sound with your baby. When it's bedtime, put on your favorite lullaby (or sing it yourself) and play along gently with a musical instrument.

Spread out a blanket and give baby a massage for a bit, take a break and quietly play a cabasa or other gentle shaker instrument to help them unwind...

The show's at your house!

Add a new twist to your family's bedtime ritual. Read a favorite story - it can be a classic fairy tale such as Goldilocks and the Three Bears or pick one of your own favorites.

Act out this story with finger puppets that you have, or improvise and draw a quick face on your fingers with a washable marker.

Scared of the dark?

Bedtime can be a challenge if your child is afraid of the dark. Going on a fun family night time adventure can be the perfect way to help your child feel comfortable.

Go for a moonlight swing at the park, sing songs that are calm and relaxing, or make shadow puppets with her while sitting in her bed.

Discover the night sky

The Moon can be a magical nightlight for a child, but it's also fun to learn more about the moon and the night sky. Did you know that the places on the Moon have names just like places on Earth? The next time the moon is full, look up at the Man in the Moon with your child to see if you can find some of these places with him.

FEATURED EDUCATOR


Christine Gora - Tasmania

Christine's interest in teaching young children music began when she was a young mother of four children.

"I realised the importance of music and movement to the overall development of the child. I began my professional teaching career more than 30 years ago as a high school music teacher and once I became a mum my focus shifted to the early childhood sector and primary school teaching."

As well as teaching music in the classroom, Christine taught music privately in her own studio, offering piano, singing, guitar, group keyboard and recorder tuition for children and adults.

"Kindermusik was an amazing discovery for me and I am now in my eleventh year as an educator. So I am one of the originals in Australia and still very passionate about all the curricula and the benefits they provide for children. Read more >>


FEATURED FAMILY

Johanna and Brendan live a busy lifestyle with a background in dairy farming at their property at Broadmarsh north of Hobart. The couple said as new parents they noticed the generational gap between them and their children, but that Kindermusik offered them reminders on how to interact and learn with their children.
