In this article we review the impact the design and implementation of an intensive programme that explores mathematical concepts through voice and movement has, to complement the previous work carried out in the core area of mathematics in early childhood education. An extensive body of research related to nonmusical outcomes and the benefits of music education in academic achievement, indicates the positive impact that artistic activities have in personal, cognitive and academic spheres. This kind of approach illustrates an entwined way of working which stimulates experiential learning through movement and singing that enhances content learning in different areas of the curriculum. By means of a case study in a rural one-single room school in-depth data involving multiple sources of information (participant observation, video-recordings, photographs, interviews and field notes) was collected, allowing an analysis of the degree of acceptance and usefulness activities which relate to music and mathematics have in early childhood education. The research suggests that the creative use of different materials in attractive experiential activities can help enhance mathematical thinking in early childhood.
