Even though May is almost over, I decided to do stories about flowers for my family story time next week. I have yet to come across a folktale about flowers that I like and would also be suitable for making into a board story. (If you have one, please leave a comment. I'm always looking for good stories.) So I decided to write my own somewhat original story. I have used elements from other stories to make my own - a poor farmer, a king, a princess, a magical bird and a good deed rewarded. The result is called Kip's Flowers and can be found as a Google document here.
I based the king, princess and farmer figures on images from the Open Clip Art Library. All the other figures are also from the Open Clip Art Library. I glitterfied the bird and the growing flower (glitter glue, metallic markers and metallic paper). I made the leaves and stem for the flower from basic shapes in Microsoft Publisher.
