"I'm a little teapot, short and stout." . Earlier "I'm a little teapot, short and stout." . Earlier this week, I shared a quote from Mem Fox about the importance of rhyming for our toddlers and preschoolers. But how do we incorporate nursery rhymes into every day play? . Invest in a quality anthology of Mother Goose or other rhymes. . Write a few on index cards and place them around your home. . Put one on the bathroom sink to recite while washing hands. . Hang one above the changing table to make wiggly changes a little easier. . Keep one or two in the diaper bag for the next time you’re stuck in a waiting room. . Choose one rhyme a month to focus on together. Plan a few fun extension activities that coordinate nicely, like a relay race up a hill for Jack and Jill or a tea party for I'm a Little Teapot. . Add more rhymes to your child’s educational playlist and let it run during independent play time. . If you need more ideas, grab our nursery rhymes freebie from our blog!

And as my favorite childrens’ book author Mem Fox says, “Songs and rhymes provide comforting rhythms in children’s early lives and also expose kids to gorgeous forms of language. They are a natural extension to the heartbeat of the mother and the rhythmic rocking of a child in loving arms or in a cradle.” . Songs and rhymes allow busy families to play with language on the go, too! . Read more about the importance of nursery rhymes (and get practical ways to include them in your day) on the blog.

We didn't get much snow, but we have enough to do We didn't get much snow, but we have enough to do one of our favorite winter art projects! . Scoop some fresh snow into a casserole dish and crack open a tray of watercolors! Children love painting the snow and watching their art change before their eyes as the snow melts. ❄️🎨
