DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Poetry and Songs for Children
I have done my best to put together a list of links to parts of the site that include poem, rhymes and songs for all kinds of themes.
The poetry I've decided to include on the site includes a mix of traditional poets (Poe, Frost, Stein, Burns, etc) and younger, nursery rhyme type poems. Most have printable coloring pages and/or crafts to go along with the poem song.
