Collect some empty toilet paper rolls and make a toilet paper nursery rhyme character. You will require two or three empty toilet paper rolls, glue, scissors, glue, and markers. Draw Small Red Riding Hood or other characters and glue them to the toilet paper rolls. Keep all your props in a bag and use them each time you read nursery rhymes with your kids.
The nursery rhyme matching game is a fun activity to play with your kids. Choose two characters from every nursery rhyme that coordinate together and location them on card stock and laminate them. For instance, you can have a card with a cow jumping over the moon and another card with a dish and a spoon to represent Hey Diddle Diddle. Draw the characters with your child and laminate them once you are done so they do not get broken.
Coloring is a fantastic way to allow your children to let their imagination run wild. Give your child a piece of paper and have them draw various characters. You will require construction paper, tissue paper, glue, paint, markers and any other supplies you can think of. Let your child glue, draw, and decorate the nursery rhyme characters any way they like.
A fun nursery rhyme activity you can re-produce with your child is Baa, Baa Black Sheep. Using some paper, cotton balls, paint, and markers, you and your child can make several sheep from the nursery rhyme. Paint a couple of of the cotton balls black to make some of the sheep Baa, Baa Black Sheep.
If you have ever played the game "Name that Tune", then you will love playing "Name that Nursery Rhyme." For a party, divide everybody into two equal groups and read one or two lines of a popular nursery rhyme. Give every group a set amount of time to guess the rhyme, and if they do not guess it in time, add another line to the rhyme and allow both teams a chance to guess the rhyme again. Every time you require to add a line to the rhyme, you will take away a point. The group with the most points at the finish of the game is the winning team.
Another fun nursery rhyme activity you can participate in with your child is a Rock a Bye Infant prop. In order to make the prop, you will require paper, paint, crayons and precut babies. On a blank sheet of paper have your child design a blanket. Wrinkle the paper until it becomes soft like a blanket. Then give your child a precut baby to rock in the blanket. You can also use scrap material as your blanket rather of using paper. Head over to your local retail shop and purchase some straws, paper, and paint. You will be creating fun puff art that allows children to pretend like they are the Big Poor Wolf or other characters in the stories they read. Puff art is a cheap and easy way to let kids use their imagination and make a cool piece of art.
