Overview

The child matches pairs of cylinders that produce identical sounds when shaken, developing auditory discrimination. Two sets of six cylinders (one set with red caps, one with blue caps) contain materials that produce sounds ranging from loud to soft.

Objectives

What the child gains from this work

Discriminate between six gradations of sound (loud to soft). Develop auditory memory (holding one sound in mind while seeking its match). Refine the ability to focus attention on a single sense (hearing). Practice careful, controlled shaking movements. Build concentration through attentive listening.
