This workshop is great for parents and young children aged 2 to 7 years - younger participants will have a variety of percussion instruments and will enjoy moving to the music while older kids will get to learn to play some songs, too! Participating parents will receive a copy of a variety of songs from Allie’s SING & PLAY ALL DAY KID’S SONGBOOK AND COLORING BOOK and we will all have fun singing and playing music together!
