Humpty Dumpty is a very popular and well known nursery rhyme that many of us either grew up singing and learning or singing it to our children. Nursery Rhymes such as this one actually can have an impact on our children as they learn these nursery rhymes and songs.

This nursery rhyme is a rhyme that was first written in the year of 1810. Lewis Caroll wrote the rhyme in his book ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’ and this is where the popularity of the rhyme first began. He wrote the rhyme and shown Humpty as an egg.

There are many theories on what or who the character, Humpty was but one theory is that Humpty was actually reference to a powerful cannon that was managed back in the English Civil War in 1642. This idea was a more popular one back then. In those days, the cannons were very powerful and heavy and it took a lot of people to help move them.

This rhyme was considered more of a riddle or simple rhyme than it was a actual song. It is very short rhyme and very easy for kids to understand and recite. This rhyme will help kids develope their rhyming skills with its easy wording. Also this rhyme may show and teach young kids that it is not a good idea to sit or play on high up places or they might fall. It will teach them to be careful of their whereabouts which teaches them some logic skills.

Young kids at these ages (ages from 0 to 5) might explore eggs and how they crack or even other objects that can crack if have fallen from a high place. Teachers and parents could use this as a lesson on gravity of just simply showing that there are fragile objects, such as eggs, that can crack if dropped and you won’t be able to put an egg back together again. This rhyme, again, is a good teaching of logic skills as well as memory (remembering the rhyme) and rhyming words together.
