Nursery Rhymes
A storytime devoted to the good ole classics!
Books:


The Great Nursery Rhyme Disaster by David Conway
     When Little Miss Muffet decides she's bored of being scared by that spider, she decides to infiltrate her neighboring rhymes and havoc ensues!!
Hey Diddle Diddle by Eve Bunting
     This book showcases all kinds of animals playing all kinds of instruments in a music box setting.
The Little Red Hen by Byron Barton
     The classic story of the Little Red Hen who toils with growing, harvesting, and grinding of flour to make a loaf of bread. Does she share it with those who refused to help her along the way? Yeah - she does...but we changed that little bit to show it's always a good idea to share.

Felt/Magnet Board:

 
 
 

This week we used our handy dandy felt board packs to tell the story of Little Miss Muffet and Hey Diddle Diddle. I put the pieces on the board one by one and tried the have the kids guess which Nursery Rhyme we were looking at - then we recited them together.

Craft:

 This week we did a simple, printable, Humpty Dumpty finger puppet craft. We lovingly borrowed this craft from the good people at DLTK-Teach.
