Fun Instruments to Get Your Family Into Music

The benefits to growing up with music in the house can be innumerable, and in fact, a wide variety of studies have shown that an early introduction to music can be immensely beneficial when it comes to cognitive development. But the benefits of music, and playing an instrument, aren’t just for the kids. For mom and dad, music can be a great way to destress at the end of a difficult day, and a way to better connect with each other and with the kids. There are an infinite number of reasons to get a musical instrument for the home, and a wide range of instruments to choose from as well. Likablee also features an expansive collection of ebooks, audiobooks, and music that are sure to suit any music lover! We thought we’d suggest a couple of great starter instruments to get your family into music:

The recorder. Though some recorders are cheaply made, especially those sold in toy stores, a well made, even professional quality recorder is still an affordable choice and a great gateway into music for child and parent alike. It may take some practice and patience, but those skills will be of immense value in all aspects of life.

The ukulele. The perfect size for child and adult alike, the ukulele’s nylon strings are easier to play than that of a guitar, and it won’t take long before the kids can strum a few chords and lead a family sing along!

Fun Nights at Home With the Family

Parenting can be a challenge even at the best of times, especially now due to the challenges of the ongoing pandemic, but although it feels like a lot of work sometimes, there’s always a way to have a fun night with the family! The team here at Likablee scoured our collection of ebooks, audiobooks, music, and more, to bring you these ideas:

Build a family fort. Sometimes the timeless classics are still the best. Thinking back to our own childhoods, we certainly loved making pillow and blanket forts on the living room couch, or the floor, or anywhere, eally. You can certainly have the same kind of fun with your kids, we’re sure they’ll love it just as much as we did!

Read together. You’ll never run out of thing to read when you sign up for Likablee! We’ve got ebooks, audiobooks, and music for everyone! Pick out a great ebook and take turns reading aloud to each other, or select an audiobook and have the reading done for you as you bundle up with the family. It’s a great way to get kids interested in reading at an early age.

Write a story as a family. Once you’ve spent some time reading together as a family, you can always take it to the next level and create some stories with the family! You can all take turns creating the story out loud, or work together as a team to come up with ideas. Either way, the kids will love the chance to be creative!
