Dear Preschool Teacher,
I teach 3 year olds and they love flannel stories. Is there a good website
or do you know of a great flannel book?
Thank you,
Flannel for three's
Dear Flannel for three's,
I love flannel board stories. I have taken a few work
shop on the subject. Below are a few links to some great Flannel board books
from Amazon.com.
I also wanted to mention some other ways to make flannel
board stories and parts.
1. Take old story books that are falling apart and copy the story down to
another paper. Then cut out key pictures to the story and laminate them and
add a felt back. Walla! Instant story.
2. When you find a story either from a books or other wise, go through clip
art books and find pictures that go with the story and copy, cut, and color
them. Add a felt back. Then place the pictures up on the board as you tell
the story.
3. Using the clip art books from #2 you can do the same with any finger play
(there are lots on the Preschool Education Webpage. www.preschooleducation.com
) to turn into a story.
4. Children don't always need a story to go along with the flannel pieces.
Again using the clip art books from #2 just make pieces from similar
picture. Like animals, community helpers, etc...
5. Coloring books also make great flannel board pieces and most have words
at the bottom of the page that makes a story. Just be sure to buy to of the
same book, this way you do not lose the picture on the back.
I hope these hit help you to build your Flannel Board Library!

Dear Flannel for three's,
A good book to get available from amazon.com is: Storytelling
with the Flannel Board. (Note: the link is below) http://www.kidslikeours.com/projects/flanbd/flanbd.htm
This is an excellent website for flannel stories. Just go to it, and
click on projects and then flannel.
