Popularity of Nursery Rhymes carried on thru the generations

We grew up singing Nursery Rhymes and now our children are learning them. Where did these songs come from? What do they mean? Some lyrics are whimsical and are merely put together to provide entertainment and fun. Others however are deeply routed in our history and outline the story of events that were taking place in that period of time.

Over the years, the stories have been preserved thru song and children chanting them all over the world. If you would like to find out more about the origins of your favourite rhyme click here.

At this age, our momstown Milton tots are all about the nursery rhymes and the joy it brings hearing it recited over and over again. We had a great time at Indigo Milton with our Children's Book Club this month incorporating all of the little ones favourites into the program.







We started off by making our very own twinkle little star mobiles that each child could take home to hang in their bedroom to wish upon a star each night before going to bed.



We then sang classics and acted them out such as row, row, row your boat, Jack be Nimble, Little Miss Muffet, Pat a Cake and of course twinkle twinkle little star. We made the songs more personal by incorporating each child's name for example Little Master Jaxon sat on a tuffet... they absolutely loved it and couldn't wait for their turn to come around!
