Since the Pigeon stories by Mo Willems are so popular, I decided to make the main characters and a few props.
There is a non-circulating copy of "The Pigeon wants a Hot Dog" next to the flannel board, but I expect it to disappear at some point. Just in case it does, I made some story starters for parents and children to use.
Also, we try to include a quick early literacy tip/motivation with each of our activities.
It's always fun to overhear kids telling their very own Pigeon story!

Hello and welcome to Flannel Friday. I love this idea, and plan to make it very soon - I'm always on the look out for good passive programming ideas! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm a huge fan of passive programming and I'm always on the look out too.

ReplyDeleteThank you Kathryn!
DeleteWhat a great idea. We have a beat up flannel board I don't use anymore. Welcome to FF.
ReplyDeleteThe kids really seem to love it. I'm always amazed at how creative they can get with the felt pieces.

ReplyDeleteThank you Jane! I appreciate the kind words.
DeleteDid you draw those flannel pieces? If so, you're awesome. If not, where did you get them?
ReplyDeleteI found and printed off the shape outline (just image searched on google)-taped it on a flannel piece-and then cut around it. Then I just drew the details while looking at one of the Pigeon books. They're really easy to make!
