I Want to Write a Story

 

We are doing Back to School or Starting School storytimes and I wanted a new rhyme inspired by my Five Happy Pencils Ready to Write felt set from a few years ago. The new set has different colors and have emotions that go with the new rhyme I wrote.  Colored Pencils Help me Write a Story   You can't tell but this set is Big! Each pencil is about 10 inches from top to tip. I deconstructed a Google image to make my pencils and used glitter glue and shiny fabric paint and google eyes for the details. 

I can always just tweak my first rhyme to use the color words or the emotion words to use them in a slightly different theme.  We're having a lot of Fun with Friends at Storytime!

Someone Lost a Button!?

I recently made a felt set to be used as I read the book Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons.  I had been inspired by this post HERE  She posts a link for a template for Pete the Cat and his buttons that you could use HERE.  I did use her idea of making Pete's coat attached at the top so I can show off his belly button!  Here's a cute extension activity to make a Pete the Cat booklet! Be sure to change the setting from Letter to Legal size paper for it to print correctly.  I plan to do a Button storytime and use the felt piece for the rhyme/chant, Miss Mary Mack. Buttons are so much Fun with Friends at Storytime!
