Flannel Friday: Doggies by Sandra Boynton

I love Sandra Boynton's board books, but the pictures are too small to share with large storytime groups. In the past, I've adapted Bob and Fifteen Animals.

This time I have adapted Doggies: A Counting and Barking Book. Boynton's illustration style makes adapting her books to felt easy. In storytime, I still use the book, but the felt pieces mean everyone can see the characters clearly. This set has a felt base with layers and layers of puff paint.

I'm hosting the roundup this week.

Keith is hosting the roundup next week.

Flannel Friday Roundup for April 7, 2017

Here's the Flannel Friday Roundup for April 7th. Enjoy!

Laura adapted the book One Day in the Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Tree by Daniel Bernstrom into a puppet story with felt characters. I love it!

Carissa is a first time Flannel Friday poster. Welcome! She shares how she made a flannel board from a picture frame. Great idea! I usually use the backside of a dry erase board.

Kate has Hildy the Hen, Little Chick, Little Chick Hide and Seek Game, and Little Bunny, Little Bunny Hide and Seek Sizes Game for us.

Wendy shares a build-a-bug set with us this week. Such a clever idea and just in time for my bugs storytime later this month.

Stephanie (another first time poster1) shares 5 Little Fish Japanese style in the form of a free printable on her Storytime Japan Facebook group.

This week, I have adapted Doggies by Sandra Boynton.

Kelly has a great version of Little Chick, Little Chick that's perfect for spring and would pair well with a book I read for my eggs storytime this week: Hurry, Hurry by Eve Bunting.

Keith is hosting the roundup next week.
