What are some of your fave nursery rhymes?

Question

I've been trying to remember all of the nursery rhymes/kiddie songs I knew growing up. My 18mth old loves listening to them, especially the ones with hand movements. Any new or old ones would be cool!

Answer 1

there was a little girl that had a curl
right in the middle of her forehead!
and when she was good
she was very good
and when she was bad
she was horrid!

little miss muffet
sat on a tuffet
eating her curds and wey
when along came a spider
and sat down beside her
and frightened miss muffet away!

this little piggy went to market
this little piggy stayed home
this little piggy had roast beef
this little piggy had none
this little piggy was a bad little piggy and he went wee wee weee wee wee all the way home!

Answer 2

As a child my favorite was always Twinkle, Twinkle little star!

For a list of nursery rhymes go to http://www-personal.umich.edu/~pfa/dreamhouse/nursery/rhymes.html

It has them grouped by theme, which is pretty cool, you can get familiar with a few and perhaps learn some new ones!

As a teacher, my favorite one is Little Bunny Foo Foo!

Little Bunny Foo Foo

hoppin' through the forest,

scoopin' up the field mice

and boppin' em on the head.
And down came the Blue Fairy, and she said:


Little Bunny FooFoo

I don't want to see you

scoopin' up the field mice

and boppin' em on the head.
And now I'll give you three chances, and if you keep it up, I'll turn you into a goon.

and boppin' em on the head.
And down came the Blue Fairy, and she said:


Little Bunny FooFoo

I don't want to see you

scoopin' up the field mice

and boppin' em on the head.
And now I'll give you two more chances, and if you do that again, I'll turn you into a goon.

Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails
That's what little boys are made of !"

The first star I see tonight,

Have the wish I wish tonight.

Kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran away.

But not suitable for an 18 month old.
