Music Monday: Five Little Cookies ๐ถ๐ช Songs like this are a great way to capture childrenโs attention while introducing important concepts like counting and sequencing. Plus, itโs a playful way to build excitement before transitioning to other activities. For the props, I used some printed felt cut into circles to make โcookies.โ Props like these make songs even more interactive and fun, keeping kids involved and engaged. The best part? You donโt have to spend money you can create these with materials you already have at home or in the classroom! Why are songs like this so beneficial? ๐ต โข They naturally incorporate academic concepts like counting, sequencing, and pattern recognition. โข Singing encourages language development and builds vocabulary in a playful way. โข Plus, it strengthens fine motor skills when paired with fingerplay or props! Give it a try, and let us know how it goes! โจ A Note About Filming: This video is meant to educate and inspire parents and educators. Our students know when weโre filming, and parents are always informed about this page. When weโre not filming, the kids often take on even more active roles, making these moments extra special. Our goal is to encourage you to sing with your children and experience the incredible connection and learning that music can bring. Happy Music Monday! ๐ถ
