Hear With Your Ears

 Gather your supplies:

You will need metal bowls, a wooden spoon, a large tub with water and a sunny day!

Show your child how to hit the metal bowl with the wooden spoon and talk about the sounds that it makes. How do you hear the sounds? With your ears!!

You can flip the bowl over and see how the sound changes.

Float the bowl in a tub of water and listen for how the sound changes.

(Never leave a child unattended around water!)

Pour water in the bowl and see if the sound changes.

As your child enjoys making sounds with the bowls and spoon, talk to him about how we hear with our ears. And, remind him how Samuel heard that God had a plan for him.
