These instruments are so innovative- almost every single one of my students was able to get a sound out of them- and in several of my classes we had 100% participation which is not the norm! These instruments really intrigued my students, as well as assisted them on their fine motor skills. They were able to hold them (the size of these are ideal for small hands) and squeeze them simultaneously which is amazing in and of itself.

Being a traveling special education music teacher, I don't have a home base.

I do it all by myself at home, which is why I am so grateful that you blessed me with the resources to create musical manipulatives for my kiddos. They love the matching games, and counting games that I have created through HOURS of laminating and cutting. Bring a special Ed music teacher, means my resources get loved- hard... I am constantly making and remaking resources for them to use, learn with and explore. Thank you so much for assisting me in my mission, to give these children the best I can give them 100% of the time.
