DC - Sing a Song of Sixpence

With our little Preschoolers we continue going through our nursery rhymes.  Today we read, discussed, and did a fun project for the Sing a Song of Sixpence rhyme.

The girls got a kick out of the fact that there were actual birds baked into a pie.  Ally giggled forever when they popped out and flew away after the king cut into it.

We read the rhyme a couple times and then we did a cool project.  We made little pies out of play dough and made imprints of the little birds inside.  We talked about what the rhyme said (like what is a sixpence?) and why it was popular.  The girls enjoyed the play dough!

 They did such a great job! Usually I'm a bit hesitant with play dough because of its inherint messy nature.  But the girls were clean and on task and when they were done, they were done.  Makes it easier to say yes next time.

 I love that look of concentration on their little faces!
