Ladybug Felt Board Story

Five Little Ladybugs

Five ladybugs with a leaf for their floor

One crawled away, and now there are four.

Four ladybugs left on a leaf

One climbed up a tree, and now there are three.

Three ladybugs wondering what to do.

One said goodbye, and now there are two.

Two ladybugs still having lots of fun,

When one had to leave, and now there is one.

One ladybug sitting all alone.

Finally flew home, and now there are none.

Nursery Rhymes and the Felt Board

Hickory Dickory Dock, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Itsy Bitsy Spider

Nursery Rhymes have existed for centuries. According to Wikipedia, Baa Baa Black Sheep can be dated back to 1744! Young children, especially toddlers, still enjoy the melodic sound of a rhyme. The repetition of words along with the rhythm of the lines help in language development. In addition, many of our favorite children's songs, such as the Itsy Bitsy Spider, originated as nursery rhymes. Today, there are numerous websites, blogs and youtube channels where nursery rhymes can be found, from classic to unfamiliar as well as different versions, all which can correlate to felt pieces.
