Home Learning | Songs and Stories with Mary and Mike
Let’s explore how we use our hands to make music and art! Mary shares a poem about five little ducks, and Mike creates a sound story about the little ducklings. We meet the kalimba, and explore keeping a steady beat to several different musical styles. And we meet Andrew, an amazing creator, artist, and maker who inspires us to use our hands to make all kinds of art out of paper.
