Resources for children and families
This activity aims to promote creativity, imagination and to allow children to explore different sounds and movements, based on the book ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance’ by Giles Andreae. At the bottom of the page you can view and download PDF posters with ideas for activities and questions.
Activities you can do with children
- Ask your child to create a song or dance.
- Create a costume (this could be a hat) or make a musical instrument.
- Play an instrument you may already have at home.
We have used recycled materials such as cardboard tubes, plastic containers, cardboard boxes, elastic bands and scrunched up paper. Your child could even use outdoor resources like pebbles, dried leaves or sticks.
