1 2 3 4 5 nursery rhyme series#
This post is part of a series called Rhyme Time, where some of my blogging buddies are sharing different activities to go with popular nursery rhymes.
We have both of these, and lots more, listed on our nursery rhyme activities page. Your fish can also bite other things – a piece of string, the edge of a piece of cardboard or paper plate, the hem of a dress….Īnd if you are after more peg nursery rhyme ideas, be sure to check out our Old MacDonald Had a Farm Peg Animals – it’s been really popular.
Choosing cheap pegs that don’t have a strong grip also helps. Note: we didn’t keep the peg biting Bee’s finger for very long, and we rotated fingers so that the one finger didn’t cop too much abuse.
If you want a larger fish size, then I’d recommend cut your fish shapes from cardboard rather than paper, to strengthen the portion that overhangs. It works best if your fish are very small, so they are roughly the same length as the end section of the wooden pegs. I cut each fish in half horizontally, and used clear drying PVA-style school glue to attach each side to the ends of wooden pegs, and allowed to dry. Bee and I then attached rhinestones for eyes or decorations (using the glue stick, as the self adhesive on our rhinestones wasn’t very strong). I cut small fish shapes from kids’ artwork, and outlined with permanent marker. Cheap ones are great – you don’t want pegs that are too ‘good’, or they’ll clamp on too tightly to little fingers.) (Some of our art we used was left over from our DIY heart stamp post and our DIY fireworks stamp post) I’ve added some affiliate * links to similar products below. (Note: the products we used in this activity were purchased locally. They sing it loud and proud, and are tickled by the idea of teeny fish pegs biting their little fingers. Our fish pegs are also great for building up fine motor strength in fingers and hands, which is really important for this toddler / preschooler age group.īut mostly, this is just a fun craft to go along with a cute song that both my kids love. It’s a song that incorporates counting, counting on (starting from 6), left and right, and comparative sizing (to understand which is the ‘little’ finger). If you’re singing it aloud, does it really matter?)Įither way, you know how the song goes, right? Or you might also know it numerically, as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5? (As far as I can tell, both titles are used. We did this activity back in May, when Bee was about 2 years, 10 months old, to go along with the nursery rhyme One, Two, Three, Four, Five. (We did lots of fun activities last year, but what with launching a second site and general family craziness, I seem to have fallen a bit behind in writing them up… please bear with me.)
Oops! This is another nursery rhyme post from last year that was still sitting in my drafts.
