Butterfly, Butterfly

Help the child in your life learn and practice classification skills by playing a musical same-versus-different butterfly game that’s perfect for 3- to 5-year olds. Classification skills help children to organize their world. It’s a skill that is sharpened over time, and even adults utilize a refined version of this skill. Also work on attention span and following 2-step directions at the same time! Purchasing this musical ebook app includes a complimentary download for the stand-alone mp3 song track.

Why is music such an effective medium for building new skills in children? It provides an environment of motivation and reward to make challenging tasks seem easier for children and to provide breaks in the task to prevent frustration. Music also initially creates and then later triggers additional neural pathways that enhance the ability to “hold on” to acquired information.
