Music and movement are an important aspect of any early childhood curriculum.  Today, we revisited scarf dancing.  This time, the children were able to choose two scarves from the pile.  To introduce scarves, we usually start with a little game with simple instructions.  We encourage the children to hold one corner and wiggle your scarf, scrunch it into a ball, hold it by two corners to make a square and flap it around line sheets on a clothesline, and tie it around your neck like a super hero.  The best encouragement for children to dance is for adult to dance as well.  We certainly do!  Try scarf dancing at home with your child.  You can rummage through your wardrobe for silky, lightweight chiffon items.  The secret is to find lightweight and sheer.
