Flannelboards
I’m working on re-doing this section right now to make it easier to see my flannelboards, so some flannelboards will be missing until I make posts about them. – October 30th, 2012
Click on any of the pictures below to be taken to the blog post about that flannelboard. At the post, you’ll find out how I made the flannelboard and how you can make one yourself. Unfortunately, I do not own the rights to every template that I make a flannelboard from, but I do try to post links when I can. If you want to know which book/rhyme/song is pictured, hover over the picture for the title to appear.
If you have any questions, feel free to comment and I’ll do my best to answer your question.

I love these flannelboards!! I’m working on the “Seals on the Bus” one right now but I’d love to make the Maisy with the colored houses one. Unfortunately I can’t find the link on the Collaborative Summer Library Program website
I went to the archives and checked last summer’s theme, but no luck. You don’t happen to have the template saved do you? Thanks so much!

I don’t have the template saved actually. It came in our Summer Reading Program idea binder, but was unfortunately lost this summer during our library’s flood. So sorry!
I absolutely adore this blog! I ran across it while looking for ideas for my library story hour, and I am so glad! Thanks for sharing all of your great ideas; I was previously daunted at the idea of creating my own flannelboard and “puppets”. Now, all that has faded away to excitement =)
I’m glad that the blog excited you! Flannels are my favorite part of storytime.
thank you for the wonderful ideas
Thank you for reading!
I just found your blog – LOVE your ideas!

Thank you!
is there any way you could put or show how you make your flanneboard stories for different stories
I’ve already made a couple posts on making flannelboards: “Making a Flannelboard: Seals on the Bus” and “Flannelboard: Dear Zoo.” The process is pretty much the same for each flannelboard I’ve made. (The only exception being the flannels that I’ve started doing sewing and embroidery on.)
Very informative and interesting.
I love your site! We homeschool, and I have been trying to find activities for my toddler that his older sister can do with him and your flannel boards have given me so many ideas. Thanks!
I’m glad that you’ve gotten ideas — I hope that your kids get a lot of fun out of playing with flannelboards!
Your blog is great for felt board lovers, and I am pleased that you are using my rhyme, “Ten Teddy Bears.” However, I would like acknowledgment. Heidi (SurLaLune Storytime) has removed it from her site. I don’t require that, but I do require attribution. Another site owner has continued to use it with proper attribution. As with much of what is used without permission on Internet, this rhyme went through many hands before reaching you. This one started with a library website several years ago, but the ownership is mine. I have written a book of felt board activities and it is very important to me to have that acknowledgment. Thank you. Susan Pflug
I have taken down the rhyme and attributed you as the author. When I corrected the Flannel Friday post, I forgot about this page — thank you for the reminder and I wish you the best!
Thank you, Thank you, Storytime Kate!
I will try these – I just can’t wait!
You’re welcome! (And thank you for the rhyme!)
I am trying to find patterns for the story “Is Your Mama a Llama”. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks so much, I love your hard work…
I do not know of any templates for that story — there are quite a few for sale on Etsy though, which could give you ideas to make your own. Hope that helps!
Oh my goodness!!!!! I am a kindergarten teacher and I have just discovered your blog!!! What an outstanding source of ideas . I can’t wait to start making sets of flannel board pictures!!!!!!! Thank you!

You’re welcome — I’m glad to have helped you get some inspiration!
I love your site!! Your flannels are much more intricate than I could ever produce and are very beautiful. Look forward to following your posts and getting many more ideas. Love that you include where you got your ideas and templates.
Thank you so much!
I’m glad that you are taking ideas away from the blog, and I’m sure that your flannels are lovely. I always try to give everyone the tools to make their own flannels because they are so well-received in storytime! Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a note!
I was really impressed by your flannelboard pieces, especially the elephants and Olivia’s family. Nice work!
Thank you! Olivia’s family was one of my favorites to make!
thank you!!! Fall Leaves here I come!!! The kids at the Richton Park Library will be so happy to have new and exciting flannel boards!
Enjoy them!!
