Nursery Rhyme Activities and Crafts

More wonderful Preschool Crafts for you today! As we enjoyed our Fairy Tale Crafts video so much, we thought we would get together and do a Nursery Rhyme Crafts and Activities video too! By nursery rhymes, I mean poems and songs – basically any poems or songs that make your childhood special. The children had a great time exploring Nursery Rhymes through crafts and are always asking me now whether we could make something to go with “Jack and Jill” or with 5 Monkeys on  a Bed… I can see this Nursery Rhyme theme continuing for some time!

This week, I have a DIFFERENT set of crafts joining us with their nursery rhymes, they are all fabulous and it is great to have these wonderful guests.

First shared in March 2014 and updated and republished for your convenience!
