I am a HUGE fan of flannel board activities as an additive literacy activity for preschool-aged bambinos. And? I make my own, saving myself a bundle! Last night I created a set of 6 flannel board activities that include critical thinking prompts (riddles) and cute pictures to accompany! The set includes: Transportation, What Shape Am I?, Who's Hatching, On the Playground, Mystery Colors, and 5 Little Monkeys (fingerplay). I made them all in about an hour! I used the patterns found
here.
Not too shabby! I used
milk filters (I'm from a small town in Wisconsin) and love love love them because you can trace ANYTHING onto them with a Sharpie and then color w/ crayons and the colors are super vibrant!
I am kind of in love with flannel board activities so if you're looking for ideas or have a few of your own to share, please do!
I have made so many flannel board activities over the years! I love them too! I wish I had saved them all to show off on my blog but I didn't - silly me:(
ReplyDeleteIf you can pardon my ignorance, but what is a milk filter? Are they easy to find and where do you get them?
ReplyDeleteMilk filters are literally used to filter milk on dairy farms... just as country as it sounds! I grew up right near a Farm & Fleet store and I know you can get them at that type of store. They are amazing and make it so fun to make flannel board pieces!
