Our Time Summer 2011

Creatures in My Backyard 

Give your child something to sing about in her own backyard. Be the flower from the "seed's" perspective. Big Kids Run and jump in rain puddles made from hula hoops. Shoo pretend flies and sing and dance to "Shoo Fly." Parents fly babies from flower to flower like buzzing bees, and explore instruments and more!

    Children are naturally curious and delighted by the world around them. Creatures in My Backyard encourages you and your child to explore your environment and make new discoveries.  Through music, movement, storytelling, and instrument exploration, your child will uncover the creatures living in her own backyard – from birds, turtles, squirrels, and rabbits to flowers, caterpillars, and bumble-bees!  Your child will experience Nesting in a Tree, Digging in the Dirt, Flying to a Flower, Hiding in the Grass, and Sitting on the Porch. So put on your sandals and join us for a backyard adventure!

Home Materials include:

• Take Home CD

• 1 Ladybug Shaker

Zoo Train!

Your toddler and the train make a natural match—always on the move. Bring your own stuffed animals for the petting zoo. Wear long white socks on your hands for polar bear paws. Sing songs for clapping time, and use music to help toddlers regulate emotions.

   

     Five lessons feature music, stories, instruments and crafts to stimulate a toddler's emerging sense of imagination, coordination, and ability to learn more words. Tag along this summer with a traveling zoo-train and learn about real animals in the zoo. Sing songs in new languages. Parents also learn more about child development and how music improves a toddler's ability to think, reason, create and express.

 

Home Materials include:

• Take Home CD

• Parent Poster     

• A special book written just for this camp

• An animal-shaped shaker instrument.

 

Creatures at the Ocean.

Sing sailor songs and make the ocean count. "Five little seashells lying on the shore:

Swish! Went the waves and then there were four." Make homemade kites and your own fish sandwiches using

fish-shaped bread and P.B. and J.

    Children love Creatures at the Ocean because they sing, move, and play with Mom, Dad, or caregiver while learning about the great outdoors, nature-friendly ideas and all kinds of interesting creatures unique to the coastal environment.  We will dive into lessons like Ahoy There, On My Beach Blanket, Coastal Waters, Riding the Waves, and In the Deep Blue Sea. So put on your beach clothes and join us for an ocean adventure!

 

Home Materials include:

• Story cards about "The Beach"

• A pair of seashell castanets

• Take Home CD

• 5 colorful picture folders with songs and activities to do at home

Pretend play and music makes the most of a toddler's verbal and physical growth spurt. Plus the one-on-one time away together gives your toddler the love and attention she craves.

 

Just like during the school year Kindermusik Adventures summer camps encourage your child to uncover an engaging musical world while building confidence, self-control and communications skills. Singing, imitating sounds, rhyming and object identification foster language skills. Creative movement to various musical “moods” develops a sense of balance, timing and spatial awareness. Listening and turn-taking encourage blossoming social skills.

Kindermusik Our Time Level Adventures Summer Camp is designed for children 1½ years to 3 years of age. Along with an accompanying parent or caregiver, children meet for five 60-minute classes and enjoy singing, moving, listening and interacting socially, and playing simple instruments. Exploration Time encourages a child's discovery of specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements; language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation, and vocal play; Music & Movement Story Time encourages emergent literacy skills; and creative dancing affirms a child's urge to move.
