Pot Lid Cymbal Crash
Give baby a wooden spoon and a pot lid for a glorious introduction to making their own music.
In the Little Play app, this activity appears in week 15 of your baby's personalized plan.
How to play
1
Set a pot lid on the floor in front of baby (a small, lightweight one works best).
2
Hand baby a wooden spoon and show them how to tap the lid.
3
Cheer and clap when they make a sound, "You made music!"
4
Try different lids, pots, and containers to compare the different sounds they make.
What you need
• A pot lid (lightweight)
• A wooden spoon
Simple household items. No plastic toys needed.
Why it works
Banging and crashing builds arm strength, hand-eye coordination, and cause-and-effect understanding. It also gives baby a sense of power and agency.
