Five Little Ducks

I’ve never met a child who didn’t love music and Hailey is no exception to that. So for the next few weeks I am going to be doing a bunch of activities all related to some of her favorite songs. First up- is Five Little Ducks… an adorable song about five little ducks who go out to play and then don’t listen to their mommy duck when she tells them to come back. If you haven’t heard the song- check out this Five Little Ducks link to watch it on YouTube.

Hailey absolutely loves this song, so I decided we should make some pieces for our felt board so that she can play with the pieces while we sing it.

Here’s what you’ll need: 5 little ducks and a mommy duck, some crayons and not pictured- contact paper, scissors, glue and felt.

Hailey colored the ducks.

Then I put contact paper on the front side of the ducks.

Glue the backs of the ducks to a piece of felt or Velcro.

After the glue dries, cut out the ducks and put them on your felt board. (My felt board is just a big piece of felt nailed to a wall in Hailey’s play room.) Then I sang the song to Hailey showing her how we could move the ducks to go along with the words of the song.

And Hailey loved it!

And here’s the words, just in case you need them:

Five Little Ducks

Five little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mama duck said, “Quack, quack, quack, quack,”
but only four little ducks came back…

Over the hills and far away

but only three little ducks came back…

but only two little ducks came back…
