Wonderful Ones: Nursery Rhymes

Nursery rhymes are a great way to introduce language to your  baby.  These rhymes make it easy to hear comparisons and contrasts between different speech sounds. The rhyme, repetition, and rhythm of the language also makes nursery rhymes such as these fun to read and sing over and over again.  

Baa, Baa, Black Sheep
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.
One for my master,
One for my dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Humpty Dumpty  (Bounce baby on lap)
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again!

Clap With Me Rhyme
Come along and clap with me,
Clap with me, clap with me.
Come along and clap with me,
This bright and sunny morning.
(Tap your feet, stretch up high)
