Ahoy there! Today we are at the beach! Join Ms Catherine as we dig for buried treasure, build sandcastles, swim with the sea creatures, row boats and much more!
Jiggle Jam creator Ms Catherine has a Bachelor in Classical Music and runs an award-winning toddler music program in Australia. Our new Toddler Learning series has been created with our resident speech pathologist, Ms Hannah! Hannah has experience in early intervention and paediatric speech and language. She brings her clinical experience in coaching families on how to promote language skills and provide enriched environments right to your living room!
In this episode we learn how to keep a beat and count syllables with our drum, we learn prepositions playing hide and seek with our sea creature friends, we help find the right tools for digging and making sand castles and learn tempo (fast and slow) with the sharks! Our activities feature key word signs, natural gesture and cued articulation to provide visual cues to aid learning of speech sounds and new vocabulary!
You can extend this play at home by emphasising the location of toys or people in hide and seek like Ms Catherine… or tapping and clapping out the syllables of words as you cook. Maybe you’ve been to the beach with your child? Help them connect this play with their real world experiences with sand, swimming, oceans and animals.
We know that the evidence recommends limiting screen time for toddlers and infants and at Jiggle Jam we agree - nothing is better for language development than adult interactions with their favorite people throughout the day! You are always your child’s best teacher, their favorite rockstar and VIP tea-party guest. But play doesn’t come naturally to many adults and we want to give you some tools to support your child’s language development and enhance their love of music - and we want to give you high quality educational videos to put on when their favourite people need a break!
If you are choosing screen time for your family, we want to be able to offer high quality programming that you can (and want to!) engage with! As with all screen time - this won’t replace speech therapy if your child needs professional support. But it will provide a fun, musical adventure for you and your child. Our videos follow a slow pace, lower stimulation animations, real life images and toys to help create these connections. We want children to be engaging with our videos, so you will see invitations for action at home, gestures, turn-taking, expectant pause and a lot of silliness!
