This Flannel Friday idea comes from Leah at Sunflower Storytime. She posted this a really long time ago, and I rediscovered it in my Flannelboard idea folder and turned it into a felt version.
Leah has the template up on her website, and I highly recommend you get it! Also, here’s her rhyme:
Five hoot owls sitting in a tree
One flew away! How many do you see?
One, two, three, four.Four hoot owls sitting in a tree
One flew away! How many do you see?
One, two, three.Three hoot owls…etc.
I am in love with this flannel, but will have to wait until the fall to use it!


I am going to make this ASAP. So cute! And will go great in my birds storytime. Or Owl storytime – love Owl Babies and Little Owl Lost!
I know, there are SO MANY good owl books! I didn’t realize it until I did a birds storytime this spring and kept picking up owl books. I put some aside for this fall though.
Love them! So bright and colorful. I made some crocheted owl magnets, but they weren’t near as cute. I’ll be making these very soon.
Thank you! I would love to see your crochet magnets — I have a friend who loves owls and those would be a great gift for her.
Adorable! I was trying to come up with felt boards for toddlers to use in my camping theme, and I think this will work!
Love those eyes! Great colour choices!
So cute!!!! I may have to do an owl storytime this fall so I have an excuse to make and use this.
Congratulations! I have awarded you The Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award. Visit this post at my book blog, Secrets & Sharing Soda to pick up the badge and pay it forward.
Katie, the owls looks so cute! I love the bright colors!
