About This Story

Clap, tap, shake, and sing! Music & Rhythm Play introduces the youngest learners to the joy of music through simple, body-based activities that require no instruments at all. From clapping games that teach patterns to singing songs that build vocabulary, every activity is designed to be joyful, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate.

Research shows that musical activities boost language development, mathematical thinking, and social skills in young children. This guide makes it easy for parents and caregivers to incorporate music into daily routines, during bath time, car rides, or the all-important transition from play to bedtime.
