Start a dialogue with your child about the Humpty Dumpty poem. What happened to Humpty Dumpty? Why did he fall?
Do this Humpty Dumpty Paper Craft.
Cause/Effect: Boil an egg and help your child create his own Humpty Dumpty with eyes, a nose, and a mouth (these can be drawn with a non-toxic marker). Recite the poem and watch what happens when Humpty Dumpty falls onto the floor.
Show your child what eggs look like in their styrofoam container so he can begin to recognize packaging of certain objects. Crack a raw egg open into a cup and let him see the inside.
Put Humpty Dumpty Together Cut a large oval out of construction paper, then cut the oval into 3 puzzle-like pieces let your child "put Humpty Dumpty" back together. Once he's back together, help your child glue the pieces onto a piece of cardboard or construction paper and draw a face, clothes, legs, and arms.
Act out the song "Ten Little Indians" (next column).
| Humpty Dumpty Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall All the king's horses And all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again.
Humpty Dumpty (altered) (Have fun changing up the words to the original Humpty Dumpty song and making your own silly rhymes): Humpty Dumpty sat on my knee, Humpty Dumpty tried to kiss me! or Humpty Dumpty sat on the rug, Humpty Dumpty gave me a hug!
Trot, Trot, Trot Trot, trot, trot to London, Trot, trot, trot to Dover. Look out, ______, (child's name) Or you might fall OVER!
Ten Little Indians One little, two little, three little Indians, Four little, five little, six little Indians, Seven little, eight little, nine little Indians, Ten little Indian boys!
And do you know what they did? They got into their boats very carefully. Be very careful that you don't tip over.
They rowed and they rowed and they rowed to the shore. (repeat 2 times) (pretend to row) Ten little Indian boys!
It was hot and they were tired of sitting, so they all stood up carefully.
They all stood up and the boat tipped over. (repeat 2 more times) (wipe brow, and pretend to balance) Ten little Indian boys!
They swam and they swam and they swam to the shore (repeat 2 times) (pretend to swim) Ten little Indian boys!
Now what do we do?
They were cold and wet and they ran home to mother (repeat 2 times) (shiver) Ten little Indian boys!
And what do you suppose she did?
She fed them and spanked them and put them to bed, (repeat 2 times) (pretend to spank) Ten Little Indian boys!
