Flannel Friday! Baa Baa Black Sheep!

Look At My Sheep!

Baa Baa Black Sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, Yes sir
Three Bags full!


baa baa black sheep

baa baa blue sheep....
baa baa green sheep
baa baa gray sheep
baa baa red sheep
baa baa pink sheep

I made these sheep for my
Mother Goose on the Loose program.

I passed out sticks and the children TAPPED out the syllables for the rhyme.

I only used the first verse.

I placed each color sheep on the felt board one at a time.

I specifically only used colors that had 1 syllable.

Thanks to Jane over at Piper Loves the Library
for the idea and her constant inspiration!!

Flannel Friday! Fly Away Birds!

Two little dickey birds sitting on a cloud
one named soft
the other named loud!
fly away soft
fly away loud!
come back soft
come back loud!



my two birds
sittin' on their cloud


Hello!  My birds are from The Flannel Board Storytelling Book / By Judy Sierra.
Each bird is made using a felt collage technique.  My cloud is a single piece of white felt.
When reciting the rhyme, children and parents use their index fingers for birds.  When the bird flies away, the finger goes behind their back.  When the bird comes back, so does the finger.
Our voices are soft for the soft bird and LOUD for the loud bird.   

I use this rhyme each week during Mother Goose on the Loose.
  I learned it from Betsy Diamant-Cohen.

Flannel Friday! Humpty Dumpty


Hello!

This is  my Old School Humpty Dumpty!
I made him in Boston
while I was at Mother Goose on the Loose Training!

I used no pattern and I had to have it done in 15 minutes!

He gets dumped, cracked and thrashed week after week!

And the best part.............I love him!
