Flannel Project: Polar Friends and Monkeys

I love this versatile flannel I have used for many years about penguins and polar bears. It is called "Polar Friends" and the rhyme is another one that has been in my flannel drawer so I do not know the original source.

It can be used for storytimes about polar bears, penguins, the arctic, winter, and more!

Polar Friends:
North Pole is UP. South Pole is DOWN.
Snow and ice cover the groun.
At the North Pole you'll see polar bears.
At the South Pole there are penguins everywhere.
North Pole is UP. South Pole is DOWN.
That is where our polar friends are found!




I also worked on making flannel monkeys and an alligator. This flannel is great for storytimes about monkeys, jungle animals, zoo, and more!

Five Little Monkeys
Five little monkeys sitting in a tree, 
Teasing Mr. Crocodile, "You can't catch me!"
Along comes Mr. Crocodile, as quiet as can be, "SNAP!"
But that monkey got away to another tree.
Count down...4, 3, 2, 1

Flannel Project: Toot Toot Beep Beep

Using inspiration from a peer librarian's storytime on cars, I decided to make a flannel of Emma Garcia's "Toot Toot Beep Beep".

There were so many different cars/trucks to choose from but I chose five for my flannel project. I chose a yellow taxi, a blue convertible, a pink limo, a red Jeep, and a green van. 

The flannel will be versatile to be used for a flannel version of the book, counting, colors, and types of vehicles.
