I’m not a seamstress by any stretch of the imagination, but even I can sew a jingle bell onto an extra pair of baby socks. That’s exactly what I was able to do this morning for some musical fun with Veronika!

You can also use 1/4-inch thick elastic for this game, or an old pair of baby mittens if you want the jingles on your newborn’s hands. Simply sew on one jingle bell, making sure it is secure.

I slipped on the socks and let Veronika kick away.

Not only will this delight baby’s with musical sound, but those who are a touch older may realize the cause and effect of their movement being followed by a jingle.

I also jingled a bell right up where Veronika could see it, and she seemed to marvel at the sound. A super cute first musical experience.
