Nursery Rhyme Snacks

• Eat hard boiled eggs or make egg salad when you do “Humpty Dumpty.”
• Make muffins for “The Muffin Man.”
• Mix cottage cheese and fruit for Miss Muffet’s curds and whey.
• Let children put their thumb in the middle of a canned biscuit. Put a spoonful of jelly in the hole, bake, and you’ll have Jack’s Christmas pie.
  

Nursery Rhyme Party - When children are familiar with nursery rhymes, plan a party for their parents. Let children make invitations and involve them in making refreshments. Encourage each child to learn a rhyme and get up and recite it at the party. (If you have a shy child, then pair him with another child and let them recite a rhyme together.)

Art - Relate art projects to nursery rhymes.

• Give children an oval made out of construction paper for Humpty Dumpty. Let them decorate their oval and then tear it into pieces. Can they glue it back together?
• Do cotton ball painting or cotton ball collages for “Baa Baa Black Sheep.”
• Make finger puppets for “Jack and Jill.”
• Make a paper plate clock for “Hickory Dickory Dock.”

Puppets - Download the attached patterns to make visuals to use with Props the nursery rhymes.
