Here is another project utilizing bubble printing. See my original post here I was inspired by the children's nursery rhyme "Baa Baa Black Sheep". It is an English nursery rhyme from the 18th century. I start off by reading this rhyme to my class. For the art project, start off by adding a squirt black tempera paint to watery dish soap for the black sheep's 'wool'. I mix up a big batch and then distribute it out to individual small cups- one per student. This is a very messy project- make sure the kids (and yourself) are wearing paint shirts!! Using a straw (I cut them in half to be economical), students blow until the bubbles rise above the cup. Then immediately place your sheet of paper on top and lightly press it down. Here's the first print. Continue doing this until most of the paper is covered. It looks really cool and textural. Let dry (it doesn't take long). Once dry, demonstrate to the class how to draw a fluffy cloud-like shape on the back of the bubble paper. Cut out. This is the sheep's wool. On any scrap black paper, students draw a simple round head with ears and two rectangles for legs. Cut out. For the background, you could use blue paper and have the kids draw and colour on a green hill. Or, let them loose with the watercolours or tempera paint, and paint a simple hill and blue sky as seen below. Glue on the body, then the legs, then the head. Make sure to glue them high enough to leave room for the poem at the bottom of the hill. Now you can use googly eyes if you have them, or have the kids cut out their own circles for eyes. I always demonstrate how to fold a small scrap piece of paper in half, draw a circle, cut out and then you have two of the same. Easy! Hand cut eyes look way more cute and wonky compared to googly eyes, though I do love googly eyes as well. It can be a pain, though, having to help 25 kids peel off the stickers on the backs of googly eyes. Kids can also decorate their sheep faces however they want. I typed and copied the nursery rhyme and then this is cut out with decorative scissors. Students then glued it to the bottom of the page.

Nursery Rhymes are important to young children’s development of pre-reading skills. Nursery rhymes help children learn phonological (sound) concepts in fun and engaging ways. They also allow children to hear and practice fluency with the English language. Nursery Rhymes are great venues to teach rhyming, beginning sounds, develop a deeper and more varied vocabulary, enhance listening skills, memory skills, gain confidence and have fun with language. Nursery Rhymes are perfect for teaching the foundational skills needed for a child to become a good reader. How I Use Nursery Rhymes I focus on one nursery rhyme for two weeks (Update: With the kinder team I am now on we do one Nursery Rhyme a week. So, many more have been added since I first made this page.). On Monday of the first week I send home a Note and Retell Pieces for my families. The purpose is two fold. One, since the note includes the nursery rhyme lyrics, it allows my families to know what version and how much of the rhyme we are working on. Second, the retell pieces allow for practice and memorization work at home in a fun way. Click the Links Below to Access the PDF Version of Note & Retell Pieces 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 A Sailor Went to Sea A Tisket, A Tasket Baa, Baa Black Sheep Hey Diddle, Diddle Hickory Dickory Dock Humpty Dumpty I’m a Little Teapot Itsy Bitsy Spider Jack & Jill Jack Be Nimble Leap Year Little Bo Peep Little Boy Blue Little Jack Horner Little Miss Muffet Mary Had a Little Lamb Mary, Mary Quite Contrary The Muffin Man Old Mother Hubbard One, Two Buckle My Shoe Pat-A-Cake Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater Polly Put the Kettle On Row, Row, Row Your Boat Star Light, Star Bright There Was a Crooked Man There Was an Old Woman This Little Piggy Three Blind Mice Three Little Kittens Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star We Willie Winkie Wise Old Owl Yankee Doodle I use the Nursery Rhyme Readers mostly as morning work. However, they would be great as an independent center or directed center as well. These readers can go home on the day they are assigned giving my students and their families another way to practice the rhyme at home or they can stay at school in a book box that students use for various activities.
