The Wheels on the Truck

The wheels on the truck go 'round and 'round

Round and 'round, 'round and 'round

The wheels on the truck go 'round and 'round

All through the town.

The engine on the truck goes vroom, vroom, vroom!

The horn on the truck goes honk, honk, honk

Parent Tip

Children are naturally curious and allowing children to experiment give children a safe space to ask questions, make predictions, develop language skills and vocabulary, observe cause and effect, and deepen their knowledge. These skills are crucial in developing a desire for life-long learning.

Bake a Cake

Mix the batter

Stir the batter

Pour some flour in

Mix the batter

Stir the batter

Pour it in a tin

Sprinkle some sugar on top

And pop it in to bake

--and wait--

Open up  the oven door 

And out comes a cake!

Hey Diddle Diddle

I bought some clipart on Etsy to put this rhyme together for.  After saying the rhyme with the picture clues we "played" with the rhyme, replacing many of the animals and objects.  I had additional clipart to add for the picture clues.

Hey diddle, diddle

The _______ and the fiddle

The ________ jumped over the moon

The little _________ laughed to see such sport

And the ________ ran away with the spoon.

I will be posting a whole early learning tip on this activity.

Goodbye

My hands say goodbye with a clap, clap, clap

My feet say goodbye with a tap, tap, tap

Clap, clap, clap

Tap, tap, tap.

We roll our arms and say...

"Goodbye!"
