Learning Shapes the Musical Way!
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Children with special needs can be slower to learn their colors, shapes and fastenings. The Jumbo Music Block teaches all three at once! A song tells children which side of the block to turn up and a special treat is hidden behind each fastening. Try saying the name of the color and shape as the child is searching and again when it is found to add extra reinforcement of the concepts.

Assentive Communication: Hey, What's that Sound?
To help children match sounds with pictures of instruments, try putting pictures of musical instruments on the Cheap Talk's squares, and add the recorded sounds of the instruments.
Here is a game to play:
Play the sampled sounds for the child covering the square pressed. Can the child find the right instrument picture? If the sound is the same, they did it!
