I'm back this week to teach you a song!! Click on the link below to view the video!
​
I have a special guest with me to help me sing the song and to play some back up maracas! If you have a percussion instrument, you might want to get it now before you watch the video. If you made a shaky egg from one of your Easter eggs that would be a PERFECT instrument to play. Enjoy!

Week 4
Week 3
This week is holy week and we are preparing for Easter! This also means, I'm pretty sure you have some empty plastic Easter eggs lying around. So this week, I'm sharing a great activity that creates your own shaky egg!!!! Just follow the steps below.
​
Step 1: Find an empty plastic easter egg
Step 2: Fill the egg with 1-2 teaspoons of dry rice or dry beans
Step 3: Close up the egg and tape it shut (This is an important step so the filling doesn't fall out)
Voila! You now have a homemade instrument! Now just shake it to some music!
