<\/a><\/p>\nI made it to have something to hold while I sang a few verses of “She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain” with the babies in storytime. I sing the first verse with the prop folded up in my lap. Then I sing, “She’ll be drivin’ six white horses,” and unfold the prop so that the horses are showing. Then I fold it up, turn it around, and open it up again to the other side, and sing, “We’ll all go out to meet her when she comes.” That’s it! Something a little different for the babies to look at while we sing. <\/p>\n The prop is six inches high and 36 inches wide, which makes each panel about 6×6″. It’s made up out of 2 6×18″ panels held together with a 6×12″ panel in the middle. Here’s a sketch looking from the top down:<\/p>\n The images are all clip art from Microsoft Word. <\/p>\n I’m thinking this might be fun to try for some of those cumulative songs, like “I Know An Old Lady” or “Fiddle-I-Fee.” You could unfold them panel by panel as you sang each verse, and everyone would have the pictures to help remember the order of the song! <\/p>\n Flannel Friday info for the week: Don’t forget we are taking a winter break and there will be NO Flannel Friday round ups on the 23rd or the 30th!<\/p>\n Round up archives and host schedule<\/a> is at So Tomorrow. <\/p>\n Visually scan all the Flannel Friday posts<\/a> at Pinterest. <\/p>\n Talk about storytime and flannelboards at the Flannel Friday Facebook Page<\/a>. <\/p>\n Follow Flannel Friday on Twitter with the #flannelfriday hashtag<\/a>.
