Children can learn the song then compose a rhythmic accompaniment using the composition grid. Character flashcards and fact files are included to teach real notation. Why not compose your own lyrics about the toys children would like for Christmas? (They can tick the boxes or draw a crotchet where they decide to play and add a rest where they choose not to play.
