There was an Old Lady...

See, there she is.  All dressed up and old lady-like.  And she's apparently starving.  Why she just doesn't just mosey on into the kitchen and eat a snack is beyond me.  But anyway, she was hungry so she swallowed....

...a fly!  (along with a spider, bird, cat, dog, cow, and horse)  But you've read the book, so you know this...and how it ends (sorry, no felt piece for that!)  But, since it is the land of make-believe, Grandma was okay and did not learn a lesson, so she also swallowed some...

...leaves!  The Old Lady was feeling very festive and wanted to celebrate the coming of Fall I suppose. 


COMING SOON IN MY OLD LADY FELT PIECE SERIES:

Swallowed a Bat
Swallowed some Snow

I will update when they have been created!

Circle Time Activities

I do Circle Time every morning with my little guy.  He's not quite three, so it's not a huge to-do, but we cover the calendar basics:  days of the week, months of the year, counting, and today's weather.  I have all of my months set up with a color and a theme.  They are as follows:

January:  White/Winter
February: Pink/Love
March: Green/St. Patricks Day
April: Gray/Easter
May: Yellow/Flowers
June: Purple/Summer
July: Rainbow (color review)/July 4th
August: Blue/Back to School
September: Orange/Fall
October: Black/Halloween
November: Brown/Thanksgiving
December: Red/Christmas

September Calendar Numbers
Anywhoo, let me get on to the good stuff - the felt!  I have a magnetic board that I use with little guy, but all of these would also work on a large felt board.  I have themed calendar names and numbers, then standard day of the week.  Little Guy loves checking the weather and sticking the felt on the board.  It's the little things  :)

What is the weather like today?

And a hobby-turned-store is born!



Hello!  I am creating this blog to follow along with me as I bring my idea of selling my felt story boards to life.  I think reading is THE most important thing that you can do with a child, so why not get them involved?  Make it hands on and interactive so they get to help the story play out?  Sounds like a fun plan to me!  So welcome, pull up a seat, check out my designs, and bring a book to life with the important little one(s) in your life.
