Be aware that many musical instruments offer rich multisensory experiences

- Let me feel the cool metal of a cymbal and watch it glistening in the light as it vibrates
- Let me feel the weight of a drum on my lap as you help me tap my fingers on it
- Let me feel the changing weight of a rainstick and the vibrations it makes as you help me turn it over
- Help me to feel the roughness of an African drum made from hide, and smell it close up
- Help me experience the scratchy feel of shells in a box as I stir them round with my hands
- Let me enjoy the different sensations of bubbly water in a bowl – the splashy sounds, their iridescent sheen of the bubbles, and the trickling warm water on my fingers
- Lie me in a giant pile of leaves in the autumn so I feel them and smell them and listen to them scrunch as I move
