The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Little Miss Muffit, and Little Jack Horner miss you! Every Tuesday we will post a new nursery rhyme with hands on activities to go along. You can print the activities from home or pick up a package from the library. You might even see one of our own librarians perform the nursery rhyme on our new Rolling Meadows Library YouTube Channel!

Nursery rhymes are easy for children to memorize. The short rhythmic nature of nursery rhymes makes them simple to repeat. Research has shown that awareness of rhyme and the ability to sing songs and rhymes positively supports children's language development, early literacy and reading skills.
