NURSERY RHYMES:    Little Boy Blue    Little Bo Peep

Little Boy Blue
Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn
The sheep are in the meadow; the cows are in the corn
But where is the little boy who looks after the sheep?
He's under the haystack fast asleep

I'm so grateful to Patricia Hinton, from Greatest Resource Educational Care in Glendale, Arizona for kicking off this section of my website by contributing these ideas:

Horns to blow: Make horns by covering the end of a toilet paper roll tube with wax paper.  Secure it with a rubberband.  Use it as a kazoo.

Ways to make bales of hay:
1. Fine Motor/Art: Have children cover rolling pins with a lot of rubberbands.  Children roll through brown paint and then onto yellow paper.
2. Art: Have children glue yellow and brown pieces of yarn onto paper by laying the yarn pieces in a shallow pan of glue and then removing the pieces one at a time by 'snaking' it over the edge of the pan.

From Stormie:
Although I'm posting ideas below as often as I can, I have reserved my very favorite "Little Boy Blue" activities for my "NURSERY RHYMES" booklet (see the "Stormie's Stuff for Teachers" section of my website).

Haystacks: In advance cut styrofoam cups down from the open end to make them shorter (haystacks).  Children glue yellow yarn or even real hay all over the outside.

From Marsha:
Boy Blue and Haystack: I like to review spatial concepts by having the children take turns putting "Little Boy Blue" on the haystack, under the haystack, beside the haystack, etc.  (I use a character from a Duplo set.)



Little Bo Peep
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And can't tell where to find them
Leave them alone and they'll come home
Bringing their tails behind them
