These nursery rhyme crafts are preschool crafts and activities that support development of motor skills using engaging and fun craft ideas. You’ll want to check out these preschool resources and all of our kids crafts that support child development.

Nursery Rhyme Crafts

When young children create these nursery rhyme crafts, they’ll develop skills in many areas:

fine motor skills
scissor skills
bilateral coordination
eye-hand coordination
crossing midline
motor planning
direction following
confidence
social participation

Nursery Rhymes are the classic stories to tell to kids. What a wonderful way to bring together generations through stories, rhymes, and classic tales we’ve all heard since childhood. These crafts are a great addition to these nursery rhyme actions that build motor skills.

There is something about the sing song rhythm of nursery rhymes that pull in a child, lull them to a calm before sleep, and bring a smile to their faces.

We joined up with a team of wonderful children’s activity bloggers to bring you nursery rhyme crafts and activities. These are the projects you will want to do with your toddlers and preschoolers after reading classic nursery rhymes. Each day this week, a new blogger will bring you a craft or activity that goes along with a nursery rhyme. Each day, us Aunts will update this page with the new crafts and activities. We’re excited to see all of the fun and can’t wait to share it with you!
