This box set was inspired by Melissa of Mel’s Desk!
I created a template in Publisher, just making quick shapes and knocked this out in about twenty minutes. You can see that the kids made a train when we did this in storytime. Each child laid down a piece and then I turned it around and filled in the gaps to make a full train. (They did the wheels and the caboose and someone put down the headlight.) This was a HUGELY successful flannelboard and I am thrilled with how it went.
Afterwards, I had to kids help me sort the colors to put the blocks “away.”
Mollie is hosting the round-up this week.
Melissa started this. Anne also has the archive.
