Each box has a coloured dot can help to match their sound box
Each box makes a distinct sound when shaken
Boxes are graded from very soft to loud
The introduction of the Sound Boxes encourages children's development of auditory discrimination as they grade a variety of sounds. By having matching sounds across the boxes, children can test their auditory senses by attempting to match the sounds.
The understandings gained from these explorations encourage children to use their auditory senses during everyday interactions and to investigate further, such as identifying if sounds are far away or close by.
