RHYME ON WITH HUMPTY DUMPTY


http://bit.ly/drjean_humpty

Here's the new verse for the end of the rhyme:

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
So the good children got out some tape and some glue
And they fiddled and faddled until he looked like new.
Then they carefully placed him back on the wall
And said, "Humpty Dumpty, please don't fall!"



*Let children make their own Humpty Dumpty puzzle from an oval that they have decorated. Can they glue him back together?
