5 Little Ducks Play Pack

A lovely pack for learning the classic “5 Little Ducks” song and exploring themes of spring, baby animals, counting, and early storytelling.

Includes:
• 5 small finger puppet ducklings + 1 mother duck
• 5 larger ducklings + 1 larger mother duck
• 1 printed song sheet

Set up your own small world tuff tray by sticking the larger ducks onto blocks and combining them with colourful scarves, fake grass, and loose parts to inspire imaginative, open-ended play.

Play Ideas:
1. Sing-Along Storytelling – Use finger puppets to act out the rhyme while singing together.
2. Small World Spring Scene – Create a seasonal tray to spark discussion about baby animals and nature.
3. Counting Games – Practise counting and simple subtraction as the ducks come and go.
4. Language-Rich Role Play – Invent duck adventures to build storytelling skills.
5. Sensory Story Time – Add water or soft textures for a hands-on retelling experience.
