A little history: When my oldest {now 18} was a little, I wanted to start reciting nursery rhymes to him. I quickly realized that most of the common nursery rhymes I knew weren’t the kinds of messages I wanted to share with him, even as a baby!
I mean, the old woman in a shoe? Uh…No thanks.
A baby sleeping on a bough and then the baby falls. I’ll pass.
So, I got busy adapting the nursery rhymes I knew into Christian nursery rhymes with eternal messages throughout. Yes, please!
15 FREE Christian Nursery Rhymes
In this pack, you’ll find fifteen common rhymes modified to fit a Christian worldview such as:
- Hey Diddle, Diddle – creation theme
- 1, 2 God Loves You {adapted from 1, 2 Buckle My Shoe} – the characteristics of God
- Ba, Ba Black Sheep – focusing on the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit
- Little Bo-Peep – Jesus as the Good Shepherd
- Mary Had a Little Lamb – Mary and Jesus
- Twinkle, Twinkle Shining Star – focusing on the wise men as they followed the star to find Jesus
- God the Father {from Jack Sprat} – how Christ satisfied God’s wrath on the cross

I just downloaded your book…Awesome!!! I am so excited to use this resources with Audrey! Thank you, thank you!
Annie
Thank you. I’m so glad you like it! After thinking about it a bit more, I wish I’d used a different font (like Comic Sans) so those kids who are already reading could read it a bit easier. I may re-do it in all my “free time” and post it with that font as well.
Becky, Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and commenting.
As I read about you and your beautiful family I feel a little jealous. I wish Kei was still 5 and we were just starting out. What amazing journeys you are going to have. I can tell you are going to be so wonderful with your children and give them so many opportunities. Isn’t homeschooling just the best!!
You’re too sweet. Yes, homeschooling is awesome! We had a rough day yesterday of homeschooling and I questioned my abilities to even do it. But God reminded me that we’re not promised every day will be perfect or even fun. So, I’ll keep persevering…
These are fantastic! My girls (2 and 4) will love these. And if you do create lesson plans/activities, I’d love to check them out! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for checking them out. I hope your girls will enjoy…
What a fabulous resource! Thank you so much! My little one will love it!
Thanks, Sarah. My boys really like to read them with me; except I haven’t printed off the 2nd edition. We’re still reading the 1st one with black and white illustrations! I guess I should make them a new one…:)
It took me a while to figure out how to download (I’m a bit of a cave person) and you were correct, it was worth the wait. I really think these should be ‘officially’ published by a Christian pub house. You’ve really done a masterful job at keeping them simple but filled with amazing depth as well. Really a brilliant job. Your willingness to share is above & beyond.
You just made my day. Thank you for your sweet comments. I actually explored getting them published, only to hear that it’s been tried before. I have several pieces for which I have big dreams, but getting your foot in the publishing door is VERY hard. I hope you enjoy them!
Very nice book! I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. Thank you for allowing us to use it! Too bad you can’t get it published.
Thanks! So glad you can use it! I think the publishing industry is a hard one to get into; especially these days.
When I click the link to download, it says the link is no longer valid. Is this still available?

Oh my gosh I was so excited to find this but all the file links are broken. I know this post is over 10 yrs old but, is there anyway I can get a copy of these?? It would be such a blessing!
