Make it together
Listen together
Choose a song and notice its rhythm and mood.
Draw what you hear
Try sweeping lines for a long note or little dots for a beat.
Play it again
Listen once more and add anything your drawing needs.
More ideas
Sounds can inspire different shapes and colors for each person.
Which part of the song is this?
For a younger child
Try lines and shapes that move with the rhythm. There is no need to draw a recognizable object.
For an older child
Invite your child to show how the drawing changes between a quiet part and a lively part.
