Nursery Rhyme Minute

In the middle of many storytimes, we pause for a Nursery Rhyme Minute. The full text of the rhymes I use are provided below in alphabetical order by title.

I use the Little Folks Visuals series for nursery rhymes on the flannelboard which are linked and listed below. The Little Visuals products are high quality felt and offer very detailed illustrations. While I prefer Artfelt for most of my flannelboad needs, this nursery rhyme series fits my needs perfectly. The individual sets have 4-5 sets but I chose the complete set with 17 rhymes.

Little Folk Visuals Nursery Rhymes #1 Pre-Cut Flannelboard Figures Little Folk Visuals Nursery Rhymes #2 Pre-Cut Flannelboard Figures

Little Folk Visuals Nursery Rhymes #3 Pre-Cut Flannelboard Figures Little Folk Visuals Nursery Rhymes #4 Pre-Cut Flannelboard Figures

Who lives down the lane.
