Nursery Rhyme Activities and Crafts

March 25, 2014

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 ย 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, let’s see how well YOU know your Baby Nursery Rhymes !!

40 Nursery Rhyme Crafts - Fun and easy Nursery Rhyme Activities and Crafts for young kids. Bring those nursery rhymes to life with these fun Toddler Crafts! Extension ideas for rhyme time!
We love Nursery Rhyme Crafts & Activities. So cute!

    Awesome job!
    I can’t wait to try some of these. Is there a Little Bo Peep one – I don’t recall seeing it but didn’t scroll back up. I’m only mentioning it because you asked if there was any you forgot & that one popped into my head. ;-). Great job – Thanks for sharing

    i tried to click on the Itsy Bitsy Spider hand puppet link but it was linked to the “black sheep”. Can you please provide the right link? I just introduced my toddler to it and looking forward to making for him ๐Ÿ™‚
