Flannel Friday Round Up: July 29, 2016

Welcome to Flannel Friday!

Liberry Becca has a lovely summer firefly set–fabulous details on her colorful fireflies, and a wonderfully realistic looking jar to catch them in! She includes links to several rhymes and her own fireflies storytime. PLUS she did something JUST IN CASE she ever does a storytime in the dark, can you guess what? Also: totally jealous since Colorado does not have fireflies irl. *sigh*

Kate at Felt Board Magic has an Apple Seed Counting set that is going to be super tempting as inspiration this fall! You can use this set for counting, but also sequencing, matching, and sorting.

I’m blown away by the masterful cutting and layering on Michelle’s bugs for her Bugs in a Rug at Friday Story Time! Go look at the butterfly! I was JUST looking at patterned felt today at the store and DIDN’T BUY ANY and now I regret it!

Miss Mouse gets a run for her money from PETE THE CAT in Amy’s great twist on the classic hide and seek game! Of course Pete hides behind sneakers! This is so simple and I am already thinking of other iconic characters who could take turns hiding instead of Pete. The link is Looking for Pete the Cat at One Little Librarian.

You were thinking just last week that you needed to do a beards and mustaches storytime, weren’t you? Admit it. Well, Library Village has got your back with their version of a Sunflower Storytime original rhyme Mr Lou’s Mustache. (Library Village learned it from Literacy Hoots, who got it from Sunflower Storytime, I love Flannel Friday SO MUCH.)

It’s Sunny Days over at Fun with Friends at Storytime! Kathryn has a simple but effective Sizzix based sun with a VERY SHINY smile…go check out how! Free hand clouds and some puffy paint finish up her set, but there’s lots of other sunny ideas and links. (Kathryn was inspired by One Little Librarian this week. MORE Flannel Friday LOVE!)

Wendy has a mix and match monster set designed for kids to use independently. Great color choices here and awesome shapes! Now I’m thinking what else could be made into a build-your-own set…flowers…trees…bugs…great idea!

And I expanded my Things That Go set with a few more vehicles and a few more places to make them go!

Thanks for checking out the round up today, and thanks especially for our bloggers!
