I would buy two paperback picture books and cut one up for the flannel pieces - I
kept the other to make sure I always had a copy of the book no matter where I
taught. I used an old fashioned heat press (like poster shops use to mount posters
to stock) to attach the flannel but you could use a glue gun to attach flannel to
the back of the pictures or you could use that self stick velcro!
The stories I used:
Have you seen the Crocodile by Colin West
Over in the Meadow illustrated by Ezra Jack Keats
One Monday Morning by Uri Shulevirtz
The Little Red Hen illus by Paul Galdone
Henny Penny illus by Paul Galdone
The Gingerbread Boy illus by Paul Galdone
Ten Apples Up On Top by Theo LeSieg- I cut out red flannel apples to add to the
characters
One Fine Day by Nonny Hogrogriam
A Fly Went By by Mike McClintock
Drummer Hoff by Ed Emberly
No Jumping on the Bed by Tedd Arnold
Bertie and the Bear by Pamela Allen
Bears in the Night by Stan Berenstain
It looked like Spilt Milk by Charles Shaw - I traced the shapes on white flannel
Not true flannel stories:
Arthur's Valentine by Marc Brown- I created the valentines and pieces and would
give each child a chocolate kiss (after I checked to make sure no one was allergic
to chocolate- you could give a picture of a hershey kiss instead)
The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins- I cut out a dozen tan flannel circles to look
like cookies and used red yarn to divide the set as another guest rang the doorbell
Humbug Witch by Lorna Balian- flannel girl dressed in her costume, have her set up
before the students arrive. You take off the costume as the story progresses
The Biggest Sandwich Ever – with all the layers
The Carrot Seed – large carrot hidden behind a brown flannel cloth
