Musik at Home

 The past month, Zeke and I have been singing and dancing with Musik at Home. Musik at Home is an early childhood music program for children ages 7 down to babies. We received 3 months of Musik at Home Membership, which gave me access to over 400 musical activities, games, stories and more! 

Musik at Home is designed for the parent to use alongside the child, but it is an open-and-go program. You will need a few props for your child: a set of rhythm sticks (we used wooden dowels), a shaker (rice or beans in a container), and a scarf (you could also use a cloth napkin). 

You can choose from so many different videos! There are lots of different categories so you can find the one you want for your child. Some of the categories are Finger Independence, Dancing, Instruments, Songs for Special Days, Scarves, and Rhythm Sticks. They also have categories for multiple age spans, like Babies and Toddlers, Ages 1-5, Ages 4-7, and Mixed Ages. The categories make it super simple to decide which videos you want to use.

Zeke and I tried the Babies and Toddlers videos first, since he is almost 2. However these videos were too babyish for him I selected the 1-5 category and those were much more age and skill appropriate for him. 

Zeke doesn't get much (if any) screen time, so I was hesitant to try this with him. However, he did enjoy watching it in 5 minute increments and joining in some of the movements and motions. He wasn't really into the songs, but he really liked the rhythm sticks! He had fun pretending to play the drums and xylophone. 

The videos are well done and the lady singing has a beautiful singing voice. Zeke loves music and singing, and we do lots of it already. Watching the videos made the music a little less natural for us. I had a hard time singing along, which is a big part of the program. I also do not like Zeke having screen time since he isn't even 2 yet, so this is not something I would use with him regularly.

However there are several things I will continue to use with him, including the rhythm sticks and some of the movements and motions modeled in the videos. This would be a fun addition to a preschool or kindergarten's homeschool day. If you don't already sing with your baby or toddler, this would be a great introduction!
