This Hickory Dickory Dock Expressive Arts and Design activity is adult-led with a clear and easy to follow structure. There are three activities which include creating a moving picture, writing additional verses of the rhyme and using musical instruments to represent different sections of the rhyme. A session could involve all the activities or a selection based on the needs of the children.
