They say music is the soundtrack of life. It can be our companion through life’s ups and downs. It can entertain us, and also become our therapist when needed. Every child’s musical journey begins early through the lullabies the loved ones sing for them, the musical toys and rattles they play with, and the rhymes they learn. But, that’s not all. If you let your baby extend the time they spend playing music, they can gain so much more! Here’s why!
Reasons Why You Should Let Your Little One Create Their Own Soundtrack
The sounds of crash, bang, boom, plonk, and twang emanating from your child’s musical toy make the soundtrack your child needs to develop. Read on to know why your little one should make their music on their own!

1. Makes Their Muscles Stronger
Playing musical toys engages your child’s smaller and bigger muscle groups. They can become stronger while having so much fun!
2. Makes Them Smarter
Your child engages their sense of touch when they hold the musical toys and their sense of hearing when they play with them. This enhances their brain development and simultaneously improves their memory, problem-solving skills, language skills, etc.
3. Teaches Them Coordination
Your child will develop coordinated and controlled movements by using their eyes and hands efficiently. No matter how simple the musical toy is, this development is inevitable in most babies.
4. Helps Develop Patience
Your child will develop a sense of rhythm and patience as well, especially if they pick up an instrument to learn early in their lives.
5. Helps Them Keep Cool!
The soothing sounds of some musical toys can calm your baby down when they are anxious. You can also include soothing music in your baby’s sleep routine to help them sleep better.
6. Enhances Baby Talk
Some exposure to music on a daily basis can lead to the development of language skills in your baby. They will soon pick up simple sounds and words, and will soon communicate with you in a language you understand!
7. Enhances Social Skills
And lastly, music can help develop and enhance your child’s social skills. They will be able to interact and communicate with the world better and learn so much more from what they explore!
To introduce music into your little one’s life, start with a classic rattle and then move on to advanced musical toys. Let your child experiment with different sounds and go crazy, maybe like a passionate scientist in a lab, and make their own soundtrack!
