Rhythm game

from 9 months to 1 year 6 months

Try out this simple music activity using homemade ‘drums’. As your baby grows, they'll want to take a turn too to make their own music!

Needed:


  • A variety of surfaces that can act as drums and will produce different sounds when struck - eg. saucepans, kitchen bench, kitchen table, floorboards, empty box, empty tin
  • Striking tool - eg. wooden spoon, hands, pencils

Sit with your baby between your legs or beside you, with the ‘drums’ close within reach.

Using your striking tool, tap out a simple beat combination on the different surfaces.

Your young baby will enjoy the music and rhythm!

Make funny photos of the process, upload to the App. Write whether your little one liked the noisy idea.
