Felt Board Stories 2

Well I have made an extra effort his year to get out the felt board - to do lessons - tell stories - sing songs - and to do finger plays. The kids really absorb every moment of these activities - probably because it's visual and I tend to use funny voices and become quite expressive when presenting! :)

Here are a few examples of what I do.

I use pre-made sets - like Old McDonald!

Hand made sets I made for finger plays - but also work well on the felt board.
As seen in - Props for songs and finger plays


I printed up little cue cards for each since there are times I forget the words! :)


Then I have printed off some story images and props from other websites.
Daycare Resource Connection - flannel stories

These have been successful and fun!

Read this!

Then other peoples creative ideas have inspired me to make my own version of the props seen.
A Happy Wanderer - fall leaves game

I have many more on hand and I hope to be inspired by the creative bloggers in the ECE world to make even more!

    This is one area that I need improvement in! I loved felt stories as a child, I need to get better at incorporating them into our curriculum. Thanks for the inspiration!

    I was like that for a while - I had to get myself back into it! Now it's very successful - as long as I use it consistantly but not over do it! The kids do get bored if over used.
