FlannelBoard Resources

**The Flannel Board Storytelling Book / by Judy Sierra.  --2nd edition.  NY : Wilson, 1997.

This was the book that started it all for me as a creator of flannel board figures.  Judy Sierra's techniques create beautiful long lasting figures. I use her felt collage technique as much as I can.  It is worth the effort.   I also use patterns from Mother Goose's Playhouse: toddler tales and nursery rhymes with patterns for puppets and feltboards  / by Judy Sierra. 

Teddy Bear storytimes : ready-to-go flannel and magnetic storyboard programs that captivate children  / LaDonna Yousha.  New York : Neal-Schuman Publishers, Inc. 2009.

All the stories and activities have the Teddy Bear character.  I love these ideas!  This winter I plan to make the "the snowman story". 

**Felt Board Fingerplays / by Liz & Dick Wilmes ; Illustrations by Janet McDonnell.  Elgin, Illinois : A Building Blocks Publication, c1997.


This is one of my favorite sources for quick flannel ideas,  divided by season.



Toddler Storytimes II / Diane Briggs ; illustrations by Thomas Briggs.  Lanham, Maryland : The Scarecrow Press, Inc.  2008.

Lots of clean line patterns.   This winter I plan to make the Funny Ducks theme.
