Take your child on a walk around your neighborhood and listen for different sounds of nature. Can you hear birds chirping, leaves rustling in the wind, sticks breaking underfoot, dogs barking, or water flowing? Now, listen for 'people' noises: people talking or laughing, children playing, cars and trucks driving by, or noisy construction vehicles. Can you hear more nature sounds or people sounds? Have your child mimic some of the sounds he saw or draw pictures of the things that were making the sounds.
Ages: 2-6 year olds
