Wonderful Ones: Rhyming With Baby

This week at Wonderful Ones, we bring together several interactive rhymes that will help your little one learn eye-hand coordination, flexibility and even critical thinking skills.  Games such as these also help baby learn to associate sounds and words with objects.  Communication tools used by babies such as, sounds, hand motions and movements are essential to babies learning speech and spoken language.  Children who develop strong vocabulary and speech skills as infants and babies often have an easier time learning how to read.  It's never too early to get ready to read!

Face Game Rhyme
Two little eyes,
To look around.
Two little ears,
To hear each sound.
One little nose,
To smell what’s sweet.
One little mouth,
That likes to eat.
