I have two Flannel Fridays for you today, that I used last fall in “Cake” storytime!
These adorable cupcakes come from Money Saving Mom and I originally found them on Pinterest. I did attach all of the sprinkles and toppings with glue, but I left the cupcake liners, frosting, and cupcakes unattached so the kids could play around with them after storytime.
I used “Down Around the Corner” as my rhyme, with a puppet twist:
Down around the corner in the bakery shop
Were five yummy cupcakes with sprinkles on top
Along comes (puppet) with a dollar to pay
He/she buys a cupcake and takes it away
(continue with four, three, two, and one)
Since I usually have more kids that cupcakes and my next flannelboard was participatory, I grabbed some puppets to “eat” the cupcakes. The kids LOVED this.
This counting cake came from Anne’s Library Life.
I also used it as a mix-up flannel and had the kids, one at a time, come to sort and order the cake layers. Since I had more kids, I did this flannel multiple times.
The full write-up for “Cake” storytime will be on the blog on Monday!

When I have my animal puppets come to buy their cupcake or cookie, I tape the nickel to their ear or tail or mouth and the kids try to find it. They really like this!
Such a great idea! I’ll have to remember that for the future.
I ENJOY Your Flannel Fridays. Which I know my toddlers will
at Daycare.
