As parents and caregivers, we try to make a child's playtime also a time of learning, the trick is to sneak those new skills and lessons in as fun activities. What child doesn’t love music and dancing?
A very fun activity nearly all kids will appreciate is hearing new sounds and moving to them. With the new
Musical Hawaiian Hula Skirt and Lei by Acting Out, your child can create music just by moving.
The Hawaiian skirt is designed out of a gorgeous shimmering salmon colored fabric and is made of faux grass for a realistic islander touch. The waistband design has multi-colored flowers and it comes with a matching floral lei necklace to really promote the spirit of the dance.
The secret for the music is hidden in the inside pocket of the skirt and is activitated by movement. The more she dances, the more the custom composed Hawaiian-style music will play. All you have to do is let her put on the skirt, click the button to "on" and let her start doing her own dances!
Show her videos on YouTube or use books to illustrate how the islanders in the Hawaiian islands have used the art of dancing to tell stories and pass down history of their tribes for hundreds of years. Let her see how the arm and hand movements mean things from flying birds to bad ocean waves and you will see how quickly she picks this up and creates stories of her own!
Mahalo and enjoy!
