For sick storytime, I decided to make a felt doctor bag in the style of the toolbox flannel I made this summer. I used the template from the toolbox, which originally came from Serving Pink Lemonade for the doctor’s bag. As for the doctor’s tools, I did a Google clip art search and made my pieces from there.
And you can see the tools inside of the bag in this picture:
With this flannel, we talked about what each tool was called and what it was used for. The kids pointed to the parts on their body that corresponded. After storytime and craft, they played with the board pieces! This wasn’t too time-consuming (my sewing skills are getting better and better!), and it was a great investment to make for my flannelboard collection!

This is awesome! You’re always so creative. I was planning on doing a sick story time and really wanted to read Llama Llama Home with Momma. This flannel would add pizzazz and the kids would love it! đŸ™‚
I hope that they do — “Llama Llama” is always a big hit here, so I’m sure it will be wonderful at your storytime, too!
LOVE this! I’d say your sewing skills are spot on! Sure makes me want to do some sewing myself!
Thank you. I really love sewing!
Just stunning!
Thanks, Anne!
This a great idea, and useful at this time of year when just about everyone is suffering or recovering from something of other! Thanks.
Definitely — I finally got hit with my own cold this week!
Love that cute little band-aid! Nicely done all round.
Check back this week; I’ve got more Band-Aid coming up!
As an art graduate on a MLIS course, I am delighted to see such creativity within a library environment. This kind of interactive activity is unheard of in Irish libraries but I’m hoping to change that. đŸ™‚
I hope you can change that too! I would be so sad if I couldn’t be creative at work!
What a cute idea! I was going to do a get well soon storytime next week, and this would be perfect! Thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome! I’ve got another few posts coming up, including my “sick/get well soon” theme write-up scheduled for this Monday — hope it’s up in time to help!
Could you please send me your patterns for your doctor tools and equipment. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you again
Natalee, I will do my very best to find them! You caught me in the middle of changing jobs and I’ll have to go through the files. I hope to have that accomplished by this weekend.
I would love the patterns for your doctor tools please.
i want to buy this from you
I do not sell any of my flannels, sorry.
These are fantastic! Please could I have the patterns? Many thanks x
I’m sorry, I do not have the patterns saved like I thought I did.
You are so creative and have so much energy
Thanks!
Is there a pattern for the Dr. kit tools?
There is not. I just used clip art on Google images as my patterns.
Hi, where did I found the template?
