Flannel Friday: Colorful Butterflies
These butterflies were so easy to make – our Ellison die-cut machine is a wonder with felt, making flannelboards a lot easier when I can find a template for the pieces I need. And I figured out that a little bit of puffy paint can make your flannelboards just a…

Flannel Friday: “Bubble Bubble Pop”
I did this little song during my Saturday storytime and it was so fun! The kids loved it! – their favorite part was when the bubbles… POPPED! And the parents picked it up really quickly which made it much more interactive.The fish are made out of felt (cut out…

Family Storytime Theme: Colorful Chameleons

Story Time Theme: Writing
This week we chose to focus on Writing as an early literacy skill in story time. In both of my classes, the kids were bouncing off the walls and the stories didn’t go as well as I had hoped, but we definitely had fun dancing to Stop & Go by…

A Corner of White
