Baa Baa Black Sheep
Fun things to do!
Group 2 Children born in 2019
Little hands will find stimulating pictures and interesting textures such as a soft woolly sheep, a fluffy spider and a silky little pig in this bright board book. Touch the textiles together with your baby as you explore a collection of five happy animal nursery rhymes, including Baa, Baa, Black Sheep, Incy Wincy Spider, Little Bo Peep, Hickory Dickory Dock and This Little Piggy. Encourage your baby to learn early concepts such as colours and patterns as you share each page.

This Little Piggy Reading to your baby has its advantages long before they can read. Your voice stimulates their brain and is soothing to them. Find a quiet time with your baby to tell a story. Make sure your baby is focused on you, relaxed and happy. With each ‘little piggy’, wiggle one of your baby’s toes. Tickle your baby when you say ‘wee wee wee’ on the last line.

Make a collection of toys and props which appear in the nursery rhymes. Let your child choose a prop and sing the rhyme together. It’s good to share favourite rhymes again and again. Repetition helps your child to understand and remember the language they hear.
Use your child’s name in the rhyme Replace Little Bo-Peep with your child’s name. Instead of ‘the little boy who lived down the lane’ in Baa Baa Black Sheep replace boy with your child’s name. This is a lovely way to make them feel special!
Making ten minutes a day to share books with your child will make a huge
difference to their development
