  • A musical map to help your little one follow along with Fossils from Carnival of the Animals It’s the perfect way to extend the learning and play beyond the podcast!
  • ✨ 🎶 We’re back! 🎶 And we’re kicking off this episode with a roaring good time! 🦖🦴 Today, we’re exploring fossils and dinosaurs through music, movement, and fun!

    First, we’ll sing a silly, interactive song about a fossil who really wants to roar like a dinosaur.

    Then, we’ll listen to the "Fossils" movement from Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saëns and discover how the xylophone sounds like bones!

    What You’ll Do in This Episode:

    ✅ Pretend to be a fossil (stay super still!) and a dinosaur (strike a fierce pose and roar!)

    ✅ Sing along with our original fossil song and practice silent roaring 🤫🦕

    ✅ Move like a musician! Stand and play an imaginary xylophone when you hear it, then sit and pretend to play the piano 🎹

    ✅ Listen for a special Twinkle Twinkle surprise hidden in the music ✨

    ✅ Laugh at a silly knock-knock joke from one of our listeners!
