Spotlight on Emergent Creative Arts
Within Toddler QuickSource®, we learn that "toddlers [from 18-24 months old] begin to feel rhythms and understand that they can also create a type of music with simple instruments and singing." You can reinforce early music skill development with simple songs or sounds.
One great way to start is with animal sounds. Try an activity called Quack Like a Duck, in which you initiate the sound of a duck quacking, and encourage your toddler to imitate. View the full activity, along with more recommended activity ideas at Infant and Toddler QuickSource®.
Remember, POCET™ Infant and Toddler is an invaluable, easy-to-use resource that provides comprehensive support across eight domains of emergent learning. With POCET™ Infant and Toddler, you can tailor interactions, routines, materials and activities to each child's individual needs.

The Preschool Observation Checklist and Evaluation Tool (POCET) was created to assist early childhood educators in organizing and maintaining an assessment system to monitor each child's development and to guide instructional practices. This individualization tool is organized to support any preschool curriculum chosen for the classroom. POCET is divided into six easy steps and two binders, and includes materials to individualize instruction for up to 25 children.
