Shake, Rattle & Read is a music & movement session for 0-5 age group
Lincs Inspire and the Educational Team for Hearing and Vision have collaborated to offer a new session specifically for babies, toddlers and children with a hearing or vision loss.
The sessions consist of songs and rhymes, accompanied by movement and dancing using sensory props such as scarves, tap sticks and pom poms. Babies enjoy the sounds and the touch of the different toys, awakening their senses. They watch the older children who with gentle encouragement from their care givers navigate rhythms and develop motor skills. It’s a fun and lively session which cumulates with our big teddy, who is well loved by all, in a calming story time. Children learn basic social interaction and structure, helping to prepare them for their transition into nursery/school settings.
