Egg Hunt

I hid one in the toaster

I hid one up my nose

I stuffed about a hundred

up Dad’s brand new garden hose.

I hid some in Mum’s slippers

I hid one in Nan’s hat

I hid two in the rabbit’s poo

I hid one in the cat.

I zapped some in the microwave

they made an awful stink

I hid one in a bar of soap

I dropped some down the sink.

I hid some in my Bolognese

I fed some to the plants

I put some in the washing machine

and in my brother’s pants.

I hid some in the kettle

and some behind the telly

and all the rest, I hid the best

deep down, inside my belly!

My House is a Poem!

A creative holiday idea for children. Look for things around the house with words on. You'll be surprised what can make a poem! I made poems from book titles, words on toiletries, greetings cards, games, and even cereal boxes! Can you think of something that I haven't?

Don't Stand on the Slug!

A new list poem. Annoyances, pet peeves, things that make you go "Grrr!". An easy one for children to have a go at - rhyme not required!

Grrr!

Toe fluff

cat hair

hiccups

flies

wasps

raspberry jam.

Standing on slugs

stuck-Pooh-sticks

fingernail clippings

my brother Sam.

Cabbage

haircuts

dog poo

burnt toast

too-tight-shoes.

All these things make me go "Grrr!",

do they annoy you, too?
