15 FREE Christian Nursery Rhymes

By thisreadingmama 16 Comments

To celebrate the end of our 7-day beginning reading series, I’m sharing some near and dear to my heart: FREE Christian Nursery Rhymes.

About seven years ago, I adapted 10 common nursery rhymes into Christian nursery rhymes. A year and a half ago, I added 5 more rhymes to the mix, making it 15 total. Just lately, I’ve revisited these rhymes a little bit with MBug (2 years) and NJoy (4 years). The idea came as we were reading together to reformat them into individual pages, adapting them for shared reading.
