Flannel Friday: Maisy Mouse

This is an old flannelboard, but one of my favorites! It’s always one that I get a lot of email questions about.

Presenting…a Maisy-based take on the “Little Mouse, Little Mouse, what house are you in?” flannelboard game.

I originally got the template for this in CSLP’s “Make a Splash” Summer Reading Programming binder. There was a template for the house and Maisy in black and white. My library’s copy of the programming binder was lost in a basement flood, so I do not have the original, nor is it available online.

But there are tons of clip art houses for you to substitute. A great place to look is here where there are houses of all different kinds — you could even do different houses if you want to!

    Oh, that is just the cutest thing! My kids were in love with Maisy when they were little, and I love doing Lucy Cousins books at story time.

        Hi Nicole,

        The pattern for this flannelboard was in the Collaborative Summer Library Program from 2010. Unfortunately, as I mentioned in the post, the template was lost in my library’s flood that year. You can print out the picture (sized correctly) to make a template that way — I hope that helps!

        Such a cute house! To make a template I blew up my computer screen and traced it on copy paper. Thanks for sharing all these great ideas!!
