Donkey, Donkey Old and Gray Nursery Rhyme
Preschool Lesson Plan Printable Activities

Themes

 Instructions and Suggestions

Materials

*  Print the two coloring book pages and tape together to form a small poster.

* Write the title of the nursery rhyme and underline the letter D.  Explain that the word donkey starts with the D sound.  

*  Encourage child to color the donkey gray and to color the rest of the poster. You may want to use small sponges, instead of paint brushes.  Optional:  glue cotton to fill the clouds.

*  This is a good opportunity to mix white paint with a smidge of black to help child see how the shade of gray is obtained. 

*  To reinforce, read the rhyme at least once a day during the week using the finished coloring poster.

*  Place the poster in a place of honor at child's eye level.

* Introduce letter D Donkey printable activities and animal facts as part of this nursery rhyme presentation on a separate day.
