Flannel Friday: Mr. Panda & Donuts

I made this set to go along with my Steve Antony storytime in the fall. I used this free template from A Cup of Thuy  to make the donuts. I made 12 little donuts and 5 big donuts. I used an illustration from Thank You, Mr. Panda to make the felt Mr. Panda. No puff paint on the donuts and just a little puff paint on Mr. Panda for his eyeballs.

I used this set with Carrrie's rhyme, but I ad-libbed some at the end. "Bridget picked the pink one." Oh, that's a good one. It's chocolate with raspberry. She took it home and she ate it all up."

I asked the kids what they had to say to get a donut from Mr. Panda...please and thank you. We also counted the donuts and talked about flavors.

Flannel Friday: Polar Bears

I wanted something to use on the flannel board for my polar bear storytime. Using clipart, felt, puff paint, yarn, and a little crocheting, I created 2 sets of five polar bears. To add a little science to storytime, I created front and back polar bear paws. I tried to make them as accurate as possible. The inspiration for the paws came from Jacki over at Storytime Hooligans.
