I take my DD to music every friday, she absolutely LOVES it!
And to be honest.. it is really something that you could easily do at home, for free!
Its basically a 45minute session, here are some of the things we do:
  • sing a hello song
  • sing a song which we can do actions to eg. i'm a little teapot, twinkle star, incy spider
  • play 'marching' music, and march round in a circle, tapping wooden sticks, to the beat
  • sway to soft music. To keep them interested we let them play with a doll/toy, and they have to try and get them to go to sleep, iykwim
  • sing ring around the rosies, with actions, in a big group circle
  • read a story together


If you wanted to could incorporate crafty ideas.
  • Get old poptop bottles or something similar fill with rice, let them glue pictures onto it? This could be used as a maraka (sp)


Another great idea, that doesn't really cause much mess, is playdough.. gee wizz kids LOVE playdough!!
Bubbles?
If you wanted to really venture out you could attempt some kind of cooking theme? Like maybe get some plain biscuits, and let them put multi coloured icing sugar on them?
Colouring in pens/paper?

Library's also have great sessions. They sing nursery rhymes, dance etc. Some sessions even involve a small crafty thing?
Today I attended a playgroup at my nearby church? I'm not a churchy person at all, but it was really good, DD loved it! They had singing, craft, and just free play.

sorry.. kinda rambled a bit, lol
