Today’s Flannel Friday is a super simple clip art easy Flannel that I make ALL THE TIME.
To make this, I find a clip art pattern that I want to use and change its color in Paint. I make twenty-thirty pieces with at least five colors. I print out and laminate each bike (or fire engine or whatever), attaching sticky-back felt to the back of the laminated piece!
Then, in storytime I sing this song to the tune of The Muffin Man:
If you have a red bike,
A red bike, a red bike,
If you have a red bike,
bring it to the board!
The kids come up and place their pieces on the flannelboard, which they love to interact with. I typically do this flannel in addition to a more traditional story, song, or rhyme flannel. The response to this flannel has been wonderful — the kids practice their color knowledge, interacting with me, and taking turns with their peers!

Definitely borrowing this great idea – thanks! Would be a perfect one to keep on hand in case of emergencies!
It’s one that I definitely find myself doing a lot lately!
