I am too late for the round up this week but sneaking in a post, racing against the clock to go up before midnight MST and before my 4% laptop battery drops to 0! <\/p>\n

A year ago September I made some Lionni-inspired mice<\/a> for Flannel Friday, and today I have an Ehlert-inspired one! <\/p>\n

This mouse goes with the book Mice which is the poem by Rose Fyleman and illustrated by Lois Ehlert. <\/p>\n

\"Mice\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We are using the book and flannel with a preschool art program that focuses on texture. We’ll read the book, then go back and look at the illustrations and talk about collage, and try to identify what some of the materials are, then we’ll read the book again, placing pieces of the mouse body as the poem describes them. <\/p>\n

The body of the mouse is made of torn mulberry paper, backed with white felt; the eyes are construction paper glued on to the face; the ears are pink felt; the teeth are white felt, on a separate layer so they can be added after the face; the tail is accordion folded construction paper; and the arms and legs are thick yarn knotted and frayed. The cat face is all felt! <\/p>\n
