Ducks

Young children love playing with and looking at animals and this week in Play School we feature one of the most popular amongst pre-schoolers - ducks! Ducks and ducklings have featured in children's nursery rhymes, games and stories for generations. The song, "Six Little Ducks", is particularly well known as a tool for teaching numbers and counting through repetition. This week in Play School we feature ducks in songs, stories, "through the windows" segments and play.
