This week our blogging theme at ESN is the MOON and that made me think of how fun and silly nursery rhymes can really be. Take for instance the nursery rhyme "Hey Diddle Diddle", we all know that cows can not really jump over the moon but in a nursery rhyme anything is possible! A nursery rhyme is a fun way to decorate your babies nursery and we can help you do that with our vinyl wall quote Cow Jumped over the Moon found in our ecrater store, Walls That Talk.
"Hey Diddle Diddle" is a fantasy rhyme designed to delight children with impossible images such "the Cow jumped over the Moon"! The term ' Hey diddle diddle' can be found in the works of Shakespeare. The original title was 'High Diddle Diddle' but this has been altered to 'Hey Diddle Diddle' over the years with changes to the English language. The first known date of publication for the words of the "Hey Diddle Diddle" rhyme is 1765.
Wouldn't the complete rhyme be so fun in your babies room? The complete nursery rhyme can also be found in our ecrater store here: "Hey Diddle Diddle"
