Nursery Rhymes Inspired Activities for Toddlers

We all know babies, toddlers and children of older age love nursery rhymes! No wonder! They are easy to remember, repetitive and fun!

Some of the parents who actively participate in the Best Toys for Toddlers Club by creating reviews and other interesting articles about toddlers, published couple articles inspired by nursery rhymes. In these articles, you can find many printables, ideas and links to make it fun with your toddlers as well!

Fun with Toddlers Linky Party - Book or Rhyme for Toddlers!

This week, here, on FB and Twitter, our theme has been playing with puppets but with a little twist! We didn't start with toys - base of the playtime was a book or a nursery rhyme! And playing was just a way to expand on what we learned reading a book or listening to the rhymes!

So, this week for our linky here, we want to see your ideas! How you expanded the play and turned it into a learning moment!

Share the books you've read, rhymes you listened! And show us how you used it for learning!

Be a good sport and check what other contributed too! :)

Great Online Resources: Collection of Nursery rhymes

We all know babies, toddlers, preschoolers and kids of all age (including adults!) love nursery rhymes! The biggest online collection so far I have found is on Squidoo.com and it's created by a guy! :) A dad to 3 kids, that is!

He collected all the nursery rhymes he could find in separate pages in alphabet order but the starting page is here: Nursery Rhymes Online - and right at the top you can find alphabet index to lead you to other pages.

It would be interesting to know the total nuber of rhymes he collected so far, but he didn't mention number on his page and I was too lazy to count! ;)

Still, here is my selection for a day (love this song!):

Dance, little Baby

Dance, little Baby, dance up high!

Never mind, Baby, Mother is by.

Crow and caper, caper and crow,

There, little Baby, there you go!

Up to the ceiling, down to the ground,

Backwards and forwards, round and round;

Dance, little Baby and Mother will sing,

With the merry coral, ding, ding, ding!

BTW, Squidoo.com has other great articles too, and you can share your own as well. And, it's a place where our Best Toys for Toddlers Club's starting point is! Check it out and join us! We have loads of fun over there! :)
