Favourite Toy Poem

I used the two opening verses as a starting point for children's writing, to encourage them to add detail about their toys. We recited these together and talked about different types of questions. Three verses written by the children have been added, containing a few guided 'tweaks' to fit the metre and add rhyme where appropriate but we mostly focused on writing lines containing interesting information and helpful description for the reader rather than generating rhymes or following a strict pattern.
