Popular Children's Nursery Rhymes

Music and nursery rhymes are a great way to teach children different things and have loads of fun while doing so. I know growing up I loved when my mom and I would read nursery rhymes together. This gives you and your child some personal time together as well which is a good thing. Children need one on one time with parents to help them grow and learn. You can make up your own nursery rhymes together. So now you are also teaching your child how to rhyme and remember things. Below is a list of popular children's nursery rhymes that you can share with your family.

Famous Children's Nursery Rhymes

3 Blind mice
Three blind mice,
Three blind mice,
See how they run!
See how they run!
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails,
With a carving knife.
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice.

Hot cross buns
Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons!

Itsy bitsy spider
The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the waterspout
Down came the rain
and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun
and dried up all the rain
So the itsy-bitsy spider
climbed up the spout again!

Twinkle twinkle little star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark,
Through I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

The muffin man
Oh do you know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man?
Oh do you know the muffin man,
That lives in Drury Lane?
Yes I know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man.
Yes I know the muffin man,
That lives in Drury Lane.

These are classic children's nursery rhymes that I think every child should know. Rhymes are a fun and easy way to teach your children about so many different things in the world.
