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.
So. Nursery Rhymes Video:

Wow I can’t believe how many nursery rhyme crafts you have here! Brilliant!
I know!! Brilliant, aren’t they!? Am totally inspired to do more now!
Great round-up of ideas!
Thank you! Had such a great time doing this one!
What a fantastic resource you’ve put together here. It’s been great fun being involved, thank you.
My pleasure, was fabulous to have your input!
Am I able to buy this nursery rhyme book please.
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

Would one of the lamb crafts work instead?
What a great list! I will have to use it again when I do my Nursery Rhyme unit again. Here’s my post on a Nursery Rhyme party we did. Turned out really cute!

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 🙂
Thanks for letting me know! All fixed.
Love these especially the five monkeys ones my daughter loves that rhyme will definitely need to make them with her 🙂
Awww so pleased to hear it!
