Pathfinder Kids Kampus recently received a monetary donation from Phi Chapter of Psi Iota Xi Sorority to purchase musical instruments for 3 to 5 year olds.

The donation was made possible thanks to Phi Chapter’s sponsorship of the annual Forks of the Wabash Pioneer Festival and from selling cheeseballs last November.

The instruments purchased include maracas, finger cymbals and sand block instruments. The instruments are used in both small group and in large group play at Pathfinder Kids Kampus.

In small group play, the children might build a stage and use the instruments for their performances. In large group play, the children work together or in pairs to enhance the music activities.

The educators at Pathfinder Kids Kampus also use the instruments during transitions from one activity to another so that the children can repeat a beat.
