Flannel Friday is a weekly roundup of posts about storytime and flannelboard ideas. You can visit the website here.
Librarian confession time-I am not a crafty librarian. Crafts for me mean fingerprints or play-dough. I wish I could knit cute puppets to use in storytime, but if I'm lucky, I can make an ok paper bag puppet. And my flannels just aren't pretty-so I rarely make them. (I'm more of a print it off from Kizclub and use magnets type of librarian!)
But I wanted a way to tell Buddy and the Bunnies by Bob Shea so that the kids knew who was talking. I'm reading the book, puppets weren't going to work. And since this is one of our state picture book award nominees, I'm planning on reading it a few times. In the past, the kids have had trouble knowing which character was speaking. So I made Buddy and Bunnies. While reading, I'll point to each character and move them on the flannel board to help the kids visualize who's speaking.
So here's my Buddy and Bunnies:
"I will eat you Bunnies!"
My first Buddy was a bit scary, so I had to make a happy Buddy too.
The whole set. (Yes, I know the bunnies multiply by the end of the book, but I stuck with the original three to keep it simple)
