The Fresh Beat Band Microphone

Your little DJs can rock out with a microphone of their own. Make more than one and put on a concert at home. Ready, steady, GO!

Catch the beats every day on Nick Jr.

This craft has plenty of steps kids can do, like tracing, coloring, decorating, and cutting with safety scissors.

You'll need to allow extra time for glue or paint to dry.

Music skills include: singing or playing instruments, dancing and moving, appreciating different styles of music, and understanding concepts like rhythm and dynamics.

Create with us skills involve self-expression, experimentation, and imagination through visual arts (like painting and sculpting), dramatic play, cooking, and dance.

Ages: 2-5

Materials
