A Fine Mouse Band is a wonderful story about a family of mice. This story talks about doing chores, helping one another and developing the potentials and talents of the family members.

The Plot: This story is about a family doing different chores at home. Each family member has his/her own task to do. Then they enjoyed playing music with the instruments that they made.

Of course we had to make music using our own improvised pom-poms, cymbals made of empty lotion plastic containers (these are being used for massages by the occupational therapists), musical instruments toys and even the baby rattles used by the smaller children for therapy.

Watching Mommy and Me DVD

Here the children are watching a “Mommy And Me” DVD while they sing their hearts out and use the “musical instruments”. What fun they we had!

This story was written by Cyndy Szekeres who also wrote a lot of books and you can view the titles here: Cyndy Szekeres (1933-) Biography – Personal, Career, Writings, Work in Progress, Sidelights
