A Month of Nursery Rhymes.

Remember, we only have preschool twice a week, and during these lessons there were snow days and days off.  This lesson can easily be added to just by looking up more ideas. 

The first is Humpty Dumpty. This craft was a little hard for them to do on their own.  They decorated the pieces, then cut them out (some needed help, others did not) and put the pieces together ( this is the hard part).  Then once they are placed together they get to bandage them up using bandaids, they LOVED this part!! What kid doesn't like using bandaids??

 Baa Baa Black Sheep. Now this one was a pinterest fail.  The idea was to add some black paint to watery soap and blow bubbles on the paper to make a bubble furry look to the sheep.  This didn't work for us...so instead we used the solution and blew the paint over the paper.  Still fun, still different, still worked out for the most part.

 Ahhh...Oldie and a favorite to all kids.  They find this one the silliest of them all.  There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly.  I read them both the older version and the newer one.  One ends with her dying and the other does not.  I personally like the newer version, but figured we would do both and see. Honestly...they didn't even take notice of her dying...they were so entertained by what she was eating!!
So we colored all the pieces and then cut out her belly.  I then took a sandwich bag and taped it to the old ladies back.  Then to make it stronger, I had them glue a piece of construction paper to it, leaving a gap for them to be able to get the animals out of her "tummy".

 Hickory Dickory Dock.  Fun craft using shapes.  They had to listen to direction to put this craft together.

 The 3 Little Pigs.  They had to built the houses, then add all the ways the 3 pigs made their house.

 Did You Know The Muffin Man.  They all decorated and cut out their own muffins.  I regret not having glitter to spice these up...but they enjoyed the craft.

 The Itsy Bitsy Spider.  SO CUTE!!  They colored and cut out the house.  Then took 3 small pipe cleaners and wrapped them around a straw (the spout) to make a spider.  Then we taped the "spout" on the house.  They are able to move the spider up and down the spout as they sing the song.
