It combines musical instruments, fine motor skills with the accompanying hand actions to these songs and encourages vocal and instrumental performances. These are really helpful, especially to newly qualified practitioners who may need their own confidence encouraging. The book was prepared by a primary music specialist who was the author of Christmas Tinderbox ~ SUE NICHOLLS

Accompanying each song are simple notes and ideas on enhancing the delivery of the song, so that children really get the most out of the activity. It’s a nice book featuring many of the commonly sang songs with pre schoolers. Designed for National Curriculum Key Stage 1 it provides an opportunity for children to respond imaginatively to the many opportunities for making up new verses. It’s in black and white with some illustrations along the way.
