Activities for listening

Part of a parent's or carer's role is to make sure that activities are at the appropriate level for an individual child. Each baby or toddler will develop at their own rate, so take care that they are neither under-stimulated nor over-challenged. Experimenting, exploring, creating and communicating through the activity is more important than expecting the children to achieve an end goal - for example, correctly guessing the animals in 'Animal sounds' below.
