CLAPPING TECHNIQUES

Young infants:

♫  Children 9 months old and younger enjoy having you hold their hands
and clap them together.


Older infants and toddlers:

♫  Try not to hold onto older children’s hands during clapping activities. Rather, have the child rest
his/her palms on top of your palms. Tap up onto the child’s palms while reciting the rhyme or
singing the song.
After a short time, do the activities with the child’s hands resting in yours but do not move. Often
the child will provide the missing action, clapping onto your hands.
