Flies, Flies everywhere!

 

We are all set to do a fun storytime about flies!! I bought this felt set of the Old Lady that Swallowed a Fly many years ago! I don't even remember where I got it. Her dress front is clear vinyl so that as I put the fly and other animals in her mouth the kiddos will see them in her stomach. I shared ideas for this theme before HERE.  I made some cute pipe cleaner and pom pom flies on a popsicle stick for a fun activity and as a home extension. I adapted Mel's idea here. 

Flies are a lot of Fun with Friends at Storytime!

Shapes, Colors and Counting Felt Puzzle

 

We recently got in 2 adorable board books that have nice large clear pictures and minimal text that will be perfect with our toddler crowd at Storytime.  Miss Margaret asked for a puzzle felt set to  go with them and I noodled a bit and came up with this set. We'll add each row starting with 1 and hopefully they'll guess what it is by the time we get to 10. That's the plan right now...LOL! We'll see how it goes.  I used glitter fun foam for my shapes but I had some butterfly sequins that would fit for the number 10.  There were only 9 shapes in the shape book so we added the trapezoid shaped basket for number 10.  It will be fun to teach them that word!  Shapes and Colors and Counting to 10 are so much Fun with Friends at Storytime!
