Children like to have something in their hands. It focuses their attention and acts as an extension of the hand. Handling and manipulating scarves calls for different muscular responses than for other musical activities. The sensations resulting from these scarf movements link them with feelings and memories mapped in the entire body.
Moving scarves suggest shapes. Spatial concepts are clarified and directionality is greatly enhanced (up/down, side to side).
Scarves add a wonderful dimension to dancing, and most children simply love to dance! Great activity for a rainy day.
