Nursery Rhymes

A nursery rhyme is a short rhyming song or story, usually designed for young children, such as those still living in a nursery. Songs for children are a part of many cultures, and often serve as an interesting oral record of important political and historical events, as well as preserving archaic forms of language. In the English language, the bulk of commonly used nursery rhymes date from the 16th-18th centuries, with some originating in Europe while others, such as “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” came from the Americas.

Typically, a nursery rhyme has simple vocabulary and a catchy rhyme. Children can quickly learn to sing along with a nursery rhyme, and nursery rhymes are often used to help young children build up their vocabulary. Since counting is often integrated into a nursery rhyme as well, children can also start to learn to count using nursery rhymes. When a child learns a nursery rhyme, he or she can also learn to follow it on the page, and many children learn the fundamentals of reading this way.

Nursery rhymes are often consolidated into collections, such as Mother Goose, a famous collection of nursery rhymes which actually originated in France. Translations were published in England and the United States. Many English speaking children are familiar with at least one collection of Mother Goose rhymes. Since some of these collections use very old rhymes, the language of a Mother Goose nursery rhyme can sometimes be confusing for modern speakers, but it provides an interesting window into the way that people spoke and lived historically. In some cases, a nursery rhyme may have actually served as a mode of political expression. Nursery rhymes sometimes dealt with controversial subjects, or carried hidden messages. In these instances, the nursery rhyme would have been designed for adults more than children, in eras when people did not feel comfortable or safe speaking freely.

A collection of nursery rhymes typically includes songs, poems, short stories, and illustrations. It has been argued that nursery rhymes set to music aid in a child's development. Research also supports the assertion that music and rhyme increase a child's ability in spatial reasoning, which leads to greater success in school.

Lullabies

The oldest children's songs of which we have records are lullabies, which originally designated a composition for voice intended to lull a child to sleep. The lullaby was sung by the person holding, rocking, or sitting beside the child, and often was in second person, addressing the baby directly. The soothing music of a lullaby has also been used to calm or distract a child who felt upset or unwell. The English term lullaby is thought to come from "lu, lu" or "la la" sound made by mothers or nurses to calm children, and "by by" or "bye bye", either another lulling sound, or a term for good night.

Examples of Nursery Rhymes:

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men

Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Balloon Ghouls

Place these darling little balloon ghouls on the table to greet guests--and at night, place a battery operated tea light underneath to give a ghostly glow to the room!

Be sure to visit all of our other ghostly crafts, our fabulous costume ideas and these spook-tackular Halloween recipes!

What you'll need:

• White T-shirt material
• Round balloons
• Wide mouth jars (to use as stands)
• White craft glue
• Water
• Bowl
• Paintbrush
• Large wiggle eyes
• Battery operated tea lights
• Scissors

How to make it:

1. Partially blow up balloons, big enough to fit in one hand (about the size of a large orange).
2. Place balloon, tied end down, on top of a jar (see image).
3. Mix 1 part water and 2 parts white glue to make a paintable mixture.
4. Tear or cut t-shirt material into strips long enough to drape over your balloon (see image).
5. Paint the top of the balloon with the glue mixture. Place a strip of material across the balloon and paint more mixture over the top of the fabric (see image).
6. Continue this process, crossing fabric over itself to cover all sides. Let it dry completely (see image).
7. Have an adult use a sharp knife to pop the balloon. Carefully peel it out of the material mold (see image).
8. Trim the ends of the material so that the ghouls will stand up by themselves.
9. Glue wiggle eyes on the front.
10. Wait until it starts to get dark and put the ghosts over a battery operated tea light and watch them glow (see image).

Tips:

1. Do not use regular tea lights as this is a fire hazard! Only use battery operated tea lights to illuminate these ghouls.
2. Instead of wiggle eyes, you can paint the eyes on or cut them out of felt.
3. If you would like to hang these ghouls, use a sewing needle threaded with white thread and poke through the top.

Friendly Ghost Flag

r

This friendly ghost flag looks great hanging in a tree or near your front door.

Be sure to visit all of our other ghostly crafts, our fabulous costume ideas and these spook-tackular Halloween recipes!

What you'll need:

• 1 white garbage bag
• Large branch
• Scissors
• Purple and black craft foam
• 3 large buttons
• 6-8 flat marbles
• White craft glue
• 3-4 feet of yarn
• Clear sturdy tape, such as shipping or packaging tape

How to make it:

1. Lay branch on work surface.
2. Place closed end of plastic garbage bag near the branch. Insert branch into the bag, poking through the side, running branch through the bag and out the other side (see image).
3. On the side of the bag that is attached to the branch, use scissors to cut two triangles; these will create the space between the head and arms. (Note: Cut only the two sloping sides of the triangles so that all of the pieces remain attached the bag. See image)
4. Tape the excess bag that you just cut, attach it to the branch.
5. Cut two ovals from black foam for eyes, and a simple mouth as well. Glue to the head portion of the bag (see image).
6. Cut out a simple bow tie from purple foam and glue under smile.
7. Glue 3 buttons down the front of the ghost’s body.
8. Go to the bottom of your ghost, which is the open end of the bag, and cut a triangle type pattern to create a jagged edge (see image).
9. Line up the jagged triangles on top of each other. Glue flat marbles in between a front and back jagged triangle. You do not have to glue them to every one, just put enough in to give your ghost some weight.
10. Tie yarn to one end of the branch. Wrap around several times to secure well. Tie the other end of the yarn to the other end of the branch, thus creating your hanger.

Tips:

1. Buy construction paper at the dollar store for plenty of fun projects.
2. For smaller circles, wrap paper around a small paint brush handle.
3. White craft glue is perfect for this project, however white school glue will work as well.

Spider Candy Holder

Click to view larger

This cute little spider candy holder hangs on a doorknob just waiting to give you treats. You can also fill it with other items such as pencils, erasers, temporary tattoos, and fun plastic spider rings.

Be sure to visit all of our other ghostly crafts, our fabulous costume ideas and these spook-tackular Halloween recipes!

What you'll need:

• 9" paper plate
• 4 black chenille stems
• Three 36"-long pieces of green yarn
• Black, white and light green acrylic paint
• 3" x 5" piece of orange construction paper
• Black marker
• White craft glue
• Scissors

How to make it:

1. Paint paper plate with black paint and let dry. (See photo.)
2. Fold paper plate in half and cut along the crease. (See photo.)
3. Pipe glue along the rounded edges of the two pieces of plate and stick the plates together, unpainted sides should be facing each other. Do not glue the cut sides; this is the opening of your plate pocket. (See photo 1, and 2.)
4. Cut chenille stems in half. (See photo.)
5. Set aside two of the chenille stems. Bend the ends of the remaining chenille stems, about 1" at each end. Bend one to the left and the other to the right. For the remaining two chenille stems, bend one end about 1" and the other end about 2". (See photo.)
6. Place plate pocket in front of you, with the open end at the top. Glue three chenille legs on the left (glue to the underside) and the other three on the right. (See photo.)
7. Take the remaining two stems and glue the 2" bend under the plate about 1/3 of the way down from the left, and 1/3 of the way down on the right. Allow to dry.
8. Make eyes from white construction paper, or paint a section of any color construction paper with white paint. Use a black marker or black paint to draw in the pupils, then glue eyes on the body. (See photo 1, 2.)
9. Paint a wiggly smile on the front of the plate using green paint. (See photo.)
10. Write "Happy Halloween!" on the orange construction paper with black marker. Glue the paper underneath the spider’s "hands" so that it appears that it is holding the sign. (See photo.)
11. To make the handle, line all three pieces of yarn up together and tie one end in a knot. Braid the strands together and knot at the other end.
12. Open the pocket and pipe some glue into the creases then press the ends of the yarn handle inside and let dry.
13. Fill with candy or other treats and hang.

Tips:

1. Instead of making the eyes you can use large wiggle eyes.
2. If you prefer to skip braiding the yarn, you can cut a handle from craft foam.
3. Chenille stems are available at your local discount department store or craft store. Watch for sales following each holiday as you can pick up theme colors on clearance (green and red – Christmas, etc).
