DOTTED QUARTER NOTES W/SILLY PUTTY

I have found that describing dotted quarter notes in mathematical terms can cause confusion with younger students, and was so pleased to come across this great method for demonstrating them with silly putty. The game starts with only 8th notes and quarter notes, you then stretch the silly putty over to demonstrate the value of a dotted quarter note.
