Backyard Concerts

Banging on a pot with a wooden spoon is practically a rite of passage in babyhood. Why not take it a step further and construct an outdoor music wall for your little maestro? Scour your house for any seldom used odds and ends that make a fun sound (or hit up your favorite thrift store), then use a hammer and nails to secure to a section of fencing. Baby will enjoy making a delightful cacophony, and your hearing might be spared in the process.

What songs do you like to sing and play along to with your baby?
