Welcome to the final Flannel Friday Roundup of 2011! As always, there is a wide variety of ideas in the following posts. I love how creative this group is and how members easily adapt ideas to fit their own needs. Flannel Friday has inspired me to be a more creative storyteller.
Library Quines of Loons and Quines has some adorable and very colorful felt owls featured in her post "Owls and Longevity." She also asks readers for suggestions for keeping the felt pieces looking good.
Mary of Miss Mary Liberry gives us "Bippity, Boppity, Boo, There's a Teddy Bear on My Shoe." She points out how easily adaptable this rhyme would be. I just found out I will be subbing for a January Toddler Time program so I'm thinking bippity, bobbity, bee, there's a snowflake on my knee.
Alison of Miss Alison Is Blogging presents "Hey, Mr. Snowman" which not only covers winter but colors as well. The children can also bring the snowman pieces up to the board.
Andrea of rovingfiddlehead kidlit combines winter fun with a little bit of drama with "The, Cold, Cold Night." Her polar bear is simply designed but very effective.
Mel of Mel's Desk unearthed a great prop for singing "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain." She mentions that this format could be used for other songs. Since I can't carry a tune I would use it to make a circular story linear - folding out and then folding back. Flannel Friday inspiration already!
Meghan of Busy Crafting Mommy has again created some beautifully crafted pieces, this time for Balancing Act by Ellen Stoll Walsh. The parachute activity looks like fun as well.
Katie of Story Time Secrets takes the "Rudolph!, Rudolph!" rhyme to a new level with a cute and cuddly Rudolph. I love the colorful noses.
Mollie of What Happens in Storytime flannelizes Hungry Hen by Richard Waring. She didn't give away the ending and now I have to wait until I'm back at work Tuesday evening to read it. I love the expression on the fox's face.
Katie of storytime katie made the most incredible "Knights." I love the detail of the armor and the colorful shields.
Sarah of Read Rabbit Read brings us her cute flannel board version of What Color is Bear's Underwear? What could be more fun than bears and underwear? It's certainly an entertaining way to teach colors and the days of the week.
Cate of Storytiming has come up with a great activity to go along with Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes! by Eric Litwin. She also has lets us know about the newest Pete book!
My contribution is "Turtle Talks Too Much." I used it for my November Family Story Time program and it is another story adapted from a Native American tale. I made simple props but it could be a flannel board story as well.
Update:
Moxie of Storytimes with Moxie gives us a holiday gift with "A Stocking for Hoppy" by showing a lovely felt stocking she made and by sharing a wonderful personal story along with it. I hope she lets us know what Hoppy gets from Santa.
If I missed anyone please let me know in the comments or via Twitter or our Facebook page.
You can find previous roundups at Anne's blog, so tomorrow, where Flannel Friday has it's own page. That 's where you'll also find the hosting schedule for the beginning of 2012.
Be sure to visit Flannel Friday's Pinterest boards where you will find all of the contributions in one place and conveniently categorized. (It make take a while for me to "pin" this roundup since I'm a newbie at it and didn't have much time to practice.)
Since this is the last roundup for 2011, I would like to thank everyone for making Flannel Friday such a great resource and I'm looking forward to 2012. May everyone have a holiday season of peace and joy and then be inspired to create fantastic flannels all through the coming year.
