Nothing like have older siblings to encourage the younger ones to learn.
Do you have access to any of the ROCK material.
My preschool son learned his multiplication tables from Multiplication Rock. Listening to his older half siblings. There are also good Civic lessons that can be downloaded IIRC. We bought them but things have changed.

Family of musical instrument;
brass woodwind ( brass-woodwind) string Percussion
(Repeat)
They all play together in an orchestra

I have child friendly instruments that can be made for each family so child understands how the sound is created
Percussion with hitting (drum shakers what hits and makes the sound )
Wind: pop bottles(flute). Soda straws cut in pointed V. Showing vibration of reed
String. Various size of Rubber bands empty box. Bigger lower
Brass (kazoo made with toilet roll making a mouth piece .tubing and a bell making the tubing and bell

Listening to different families of sound is on several videos

Thanks, hoosiermama.

I find a lot on the internet. I sure didn’t have this much at my disposal years ago when I schooled my own son and daughter. I sat in the school room every night for hours writing everything out by hand.

I came up with a system for times tables which I called the multiplication march lol. My daughter was 6 when she learned hers and her brother, just because he was with us, knew all of his times tables at 4!

Must get going - no pajama day for me today!
