Strawberry Pie!

 

  

Spring strawberries are the best! I'm planning a storytime them of  Strawberries are Red for this summer and I needed another felt set! I have a set of 5 strawberries in this post HERE. I made up a rhyme/story about picking strawberries and making pie Here!  I used some Google images for my leaves but I kinda freehand cut the strawberries, bucket shape and pie pieces.  I referenced my blueberry post here for the bucket and pie shapes.  Red Strawberries are so much Fun with Friends at Storytime.

Making Grape Jelly!

 

This summer our theme is Color Your World. We are focusing on a different color each week at Storytime so I made a new rhyme and felt set to use for the color Purple!  I used several Google images and some free hand additions for my patterns. Here's a link for the rhyme, Making Grape Jelly. This set could be used for Fruit, Food, or the color Purple.   I have a Sizzix circle diecut to make the grapes and I layered the grey 'lid' onto a purple piece for my jar and the  PB&J.  The peanut butter part of the sandwich is a different shade of brown felt, as well as the crusts.  I generally make a background piece and layer all the other pieces on it to make a more 3 dimensional look. Of course I added some glitter glue to jazz the pieces up some!  This set turned out even better than I had hoped for! That's always a win!  

Purple grapes are a delicious way to have Fun with Friends at Storytime!

Our Tree in Four Seasons

 

We did a tree themed storytime at my library last week and I needed another felt set/ story for my program.  I already had these two Here and Here but I needed a story or something to round out my theme.  We used Tap the Magic Tree and The Busy Tree for our books.  I saw this idea on Etsy in several shops so I adapted it and made my own set. I used some glitter glue on the snowflakes but otherwise nothing shiny! Can you believe it?! I don't have a set script for this we just talked about the seasons as they follow each other and then ... start over again! Easy Peasy.  Trees are very important and Fun with Friends at Storytime!
