Back during Shark Week, I saw the cutest variation of 2 Little Blackbirds
@ sunflowerstorytime.com! Her 2 little sharks were adorable. I made me a set and then I saw a really cute octopus
@ storytime ABC's and I wanted 2 of them! After I had them I decided I needed, at least, 5 different creatures so I'd have a total of 10 (the magic preschool number!). After some research and fiddling with several pictures to make patterns, here are my Jellyfish, Seahorse and Crab. Now, I need to make up rhymes for all but the sharks and I'm set!! I decided that I can use these as finger puppets or on the flannel board. I used combinations of Google images to design my patterns and then I used ribbons, sequins and glitter glue or glitter fabric paint to embellish them. I especially love the little crowns on the seahorses. I cut up a fancy sequin to get the parts for those and the cheeks for the jellyfish. They all turned out better than I had hoped! It's funny how that works sometimes! *Update: Here's the link for the rhymes for each set of sea creatures
Two Little Sharks.
Any and/or all of these would go well with some of the other sea creature posts I've already done;
Seahorses,
Fish or with this song,
'Old Man Skipper'.
