Simple percussion instruments such as rhythm sticks provide many opportunities for children to explore and refine their ability to keep a steady beat. The rhythm sticks also help to prepare children for other fine motor skills such as drawing and holding the mallets of a barred instrument.
The best thing is a pair of spoons or really any kitchen utensil is a great pair of rhythm sticks. Challenge your child to listen and find other steady beat rhythms around your house, like the phone, an alarm clock, the blinking of the microwave, it's all around us!
