Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes

Do you know where Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes came from?
We do not know why nursery rhymes were created or when the first nursery rhyme was told as a story, but written nursery rhymes can be dated to the early 1600's. Regardless of why, how or by whom nursery rhymes were created they were made and written for children of all ages. In fact most of the nursery rhymes we know and love also have nursery rhyme activities that go along with them to help teach those hard concepts to children. It is not well know that these rhymes were not originally written in English and are only popular today in English speaking countries, mainly the United States and England. Please read more

The nursery rhymes of the 1600s were not the nursery rhymes that we know today, they were actually fairy tales. These fairy tales such as Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella were first published in France for little children to enjoy. Each fairy tale had a moral and taught the children a moral lesson.

These French fairy tales were translated and published by an Englishman who called them Mother Goose's Tales. Nursery Rhymes, as we know them today, were not published until the mid-1700s. These rhymes did not become popular until John Newberry and his stepson, who after his death published volumes of children's literature in England, including the nursery rhymes that we know as Mother Goose's Nursery Rhymes. Because of the popularity of these rhymes in England they were soon published in the United States.

Regardless of how mother goose nursery rhymes actually came about they are a great tool for early childhood education. They provide young children with a fun and exciting way to learn about math, letters, opposites, and other important concepts. It has even been said that some of the nursery rhymes were politically motivated, like Humpty Dumpty
