Smiling and Swaying

Children's literature is the vivid embodiment of natural beauty. How can we ensure that children grow up immersed in the nurturing embrace of this beautiful literature from an early age?

Nursery rhymes are simple and concise, filled with innocent and elegant charm. With their repetitive sentence structures and rhyming, easy-to-recite words, they are often a child's very first encounter with literature, marking the beginning of their unconscious journey into appreciating literary beauty.

In early childhood education, nursery rhymes serve as ideal material for integrated curriculum activities. Consider this example:

"Little bright star, hanging in the sky, shining its light in all directions. How I wish I had a pair of wings, so I could fly right to your side."

Though it is just a short rhyme, it covers multiple learning areas:

• Language: Children learn nouns through recitation, such as star, light, and wings.

• General Knowledge: They learn that stars are in the sky, and that one needs wings to fly.

• Mathematics: It introduces concepts of size ("little"), quantity ("a pair"), and space ("all directions/four directions").

Such unbridled, imaginative fantasies help develop a child's thinking and creative abilities.

To enrich our children's future inner lives and add joy to their daily experiences, let us recite these beautiful nursery rhymes with them, allowing them to grow up under the gentle influence of literary beauty.
