"We received the order on time and were very pleased with all the items. My daughter is very severely disabled and will only reach for things that are dangling so I am always on the look out for such things."

— Clare Pritchett

Description

The Cuckoo is a simple two tone hoot-sounding whistle that can sound just like an owl, or a cuckoo.

It is very easy to play.

These bird-sound flutes can help with all aspects of EY development, including:

Sensory and/or physical needs

- Great for breath control, diaphragm exercise
- Gentle ear stimulation
- Soft tones help to relax and calm

Social, emotional and mental health
- Imagine being 'owls' and 'cuckoos' sitting in a tree, chatting; encourages softer, gentle and considered playing and listening.
- Perhaps an old steam train flashes past and disturbs all the life in the hedgerow; in comes ceng ceng turtle to illustrate the disturbance. Then all returns to the previous calm chatting.
- Music and sound-play is as much about soft and gentle as it is about pounding and beating.

Communication and interaction
Everyone plays their part in the 'Sound-scape' outlined in the previous column. Initiating, listening, responding.

Cognition and learning

Broadening listening and playing skills.
