How do I enter these youngsters to the world of classical music?

I'm babysitting two young children (5 and 6, a boy and a girl) for all summer. I put on a classical CD to every day when they are playing quietly and colorful. They hope that they ask me to light. Eienstiens Then I played a little game with them on the computer that must match the instruments to their sounds. They know most of them now. The she is fascinated by the sight of this ballet. He loves music of Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. The child becomes more intrested in it. So my question is, does anyone have ideas for things I can do with them relating to classical music?

I suggest getting a copy of the book by Jacques Dalcroze, Eurythmics, Art and Education. This is a comprehensive educational approach to teaching music to young people. There are a lot of theory in the book is very interesting, and also many activities and exercises that are fun and develop their musical skills.
