The Conductor

Step One: Locate CD of a favourite recording of classical music. (I chose Vivaldi's Four Seasons by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Gil Shaham solo violin)

Step Two: Play CD

Step Three: Place the Monkey face up on a nice, soft blanket

Step Four: Conduct orchestra using the Monkey's feet as batons

Hint: Up-tempo music with lots of crescendos and violin solos is a good choice.

Also: This is fun for 5 minutes. Then the Monkey is ready to move on. Keep playing the CD, though: it's a great piece of music.
