Learn, sing, and dance with your favorite PBS Kids characters!
FOR KIDS: HOMEMADE INSTRUMENTS
No instruments? No problem! Use different household items to make your own music. Try making a water xylophone with glasses or egg carton maracas. Use those leftover plastic eggs to make music shakers or make a guitar out of cardboard.
PBS Kids also offers online music games at PBSkids.org or in the PBS Kids Games app.
FOR PARENTS: MUSIC AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT
Research shows that playing and listening to music can help teach children language development skills, spatial skills, and fine motor skills. By creating a musical environment at home, children can practice self-regulation and boost memory. Children of all ages will enjoy music lessons or playing music as a family.
FOR EDUCATORS: TEACHING WITH TUNES!
Integrating music into your daily lessons is a great way to increase memory, engagement, and build a stronger classroom community. PBS Kids Learning Media’s Teaching with Tunes offers lessons with curated songs for all academic subjects, social emotional learning, and for brain breaks!
Make the season bright with a festive lineup of your favorite PBS Kids shows and holiday specials.
