Bug felt story

HAPPY FLANNEL FRIDAY! Are you ready to wiggle and squirm this week? Last Friday, we bounced like bunnies. This week, we are going to wiggle and squirm like worms! I am not sure if I have ever done a storytime featuring worms ~ ewwww! smooshy, gooshy, slimey, slippery worms! ~ before. But it was FUN! Planning last night's Family Storytime and Game Night was actually more fun than I imagined. And did you know worms have their own personalilites? Well... at least mine do! *wink* As some of my…

Since it’s finally, officially spring (and actually feels like spring in Chicago), here’s a great seasonal flannel: Flannelboard: “Butterfly Colors” The first to come to the garden bed …

Butterflies are incredibly beautiful and such a wonderful storytime theme! I haven't checked the Flannel Friday Pinterest boards yet, but I'm sure there are several with butterfly posts. I thought I'd add mine here. I have an original rhyme, Color Butterflies, that I use with my large glittery felt butterflies and diecut matching butterflies that I hand out to the kiddos to bring to the pretend flannelboard 'garden'. I also use the large butterflies minus one to do a counting rhyme. I can't…
