Sparki sent in this great alternative verse to "Little Miss Muffet" to teach manners! Thanks, Sparki!
Here's how we say "Little Miss Muffet" and learn our manners at my house:
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating her cottage cheese
There came a great spider
Who sat down beside her
And said, "May I have a bite, please?"
Roxanne wrote in with this idea...I bought a spider that is sound sensitive and when you clap he wiggles down the string and then
goes up. I have a child sit uder the spider on a little chair and we say the rhyme. We change miss Muffet to the child's name and then
after along came a spider we clap our hands and the spider comes down and the child acts scared. My preschoolers love it! ~Thanks, Raoxanne!
