As promised…though I waited until the very last day of Fall to do it…some pictures of the flannelboards that I made for storytime, but didn’t make a giant post on!

Big, Bigger, Biggest
A little ball, a bigger ball, and a great big ball I see
Now help me count them, one, two, three!

I used this with my opposites storytime, back in October.
“Dog’s Colorful Day” — Template from Making Learning Fun
I do this flannel with the book “Dog’s Colorful Day” by Emma Dodd. I actually haven’t used this flannel yet, but I found it and it was too cute (and too simple to make) to pass up.
“Big Green Monster” — Templates from Kizclub.com
This flannel is used to tell “Go Away, Big Green Monster” by Ed Emberley. I used this in my monsters storytime.
“The Penguin Went Over the Iceberg” — Templates from Google Image Search
I used this flannel just this past week, in penguin storytime. I haven’t gotten my post up, but I used the flannel with a song:
Penguin Went Over the Iceberg
The penguin went over the iceberg,
The penguin went over the iceberg,
The penguin went over the iceberg,
To see what he could see,
To see what he could see,
The penguin went over the iceberg,
The penguin went over the iceberg,
The penguin went over the iceberg,
To see what he could see.
The other side of the iceberg,
The other side of the iceberg,
The other side of the iceberg,
Was all that he could see,
Was all that he could see,
The other side of the iceberg,
The other side of the iceberg,
The other side of the iceberg,
Was all that he could see!

Shapes — Templates from KidsSoup
I used this flannel with my shapes storytime to not only help the kids identify what shape I was talking about while singing; but I also used them as a flannel game, hiding the dog from “Dear Zoo” underneath each shape.
And that sums up the new flannels at my library. I’ll be updating the “Flannelboards” section on the blog just as soon as I get a chance.
Holy cats that’s a cute penguin!!!! *steals*!
I just have to say how much I LOVE your site. You have a lot of great ideas, and they are very much appreciate. If it’s ok to plug myself, I have a business (you can find it on FaceBook by going to Felt Creative). I make felt stories for the children’s librarians in Vancouver, B.C.
Keep up the great work.
These flannelboards are fantastic!
Thank you!
Are non gauze milk sturdy enough for preschool children to handle.
Does the ink from the computer print out ok on the non gauze milk filter?
Do you need to glue anything on the back of the non gauze milk filter so it sticks to flannel board
Thank you
Joanne
Hi JoAnne,
I don’t use gauze milk filters for my flannelboards. I use the felt sheets that you can find at most local craft stores. Thanks!
