Cabinet of Wonder

OVERVIEW

Cabinet of Wonder is a multimedia collaboration between American singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and Chicago Children’s Theatre, along with Manual Cinema, a collective of artists and a team of early childhood educators. It was designed to be a powerful educational and enrichment tool for teachers and parents of children ages 3-6, but it will bring hours of joy to people of all ages. With a collection of professionally produced musical recordings and inventive videos, Cabinet of Wonder reimagines Mother Goose and her famous canon of rhymes for a new generation. 

The content-rich website for young children, their teachers, and parents — cabinetofwonder.org — provides all the materials needed to use Cabinet of Wonder in the classroom or at home. Please explore the site, engage with the rhymes, music, photographs, videos, sheet music, teaching guides, and other print resources. All the resources and content of the website are provided free of charge to everyone, everywhere.
