Hickory Hickory Dock

You can use this craft to teach your child the nursery rhyme tune and lyrics, animal names, identifying numerals, and counting to twelve. Your child is also using fine motor skills when coloring, cutting, and spinning the paperclip. Your child could move the paper clip in number order starting with one, or your child could spin the paperclip to see which number it lands on. We sing the verse the paper clip is on.
