Yes... my addiction to felt continues!
Ingredients:
Felt, scissors and imagination (or templates if your that way inclined)!
As promised, the completed firefighters and their truck. First you start with the red truck and as you sing "the wheels on the truck.." etc, you put them up! The competition winner was the firewomen, and my faithful competitor!
We are in the middle of a massive obsession with buildings at work. After hours of scanning the internet for a felt house and song I ended up having to make one myself. As with the fire engine you sing a song and build the house as you go.
Song:
Let's build a house lets build one, let's build a house today
We'll build a house we'll build one, we'll build one for our play
build, build, build a house, build, build, build a house, build a house
First we need some walls and we will need a floor
next we'll need some windows, let's not forget a door
build, build, build a house, build, build, build a house, build a house
Next we need a roof, and a chimney too
what about a garden, and of course we need you!
build, build, build a house, build, build, build a house, build a house!
Another work related creation... I keep finding bugs, the most recent being a little moth caterpillar starting a cocoon. This off course must lead to the Hungriest Caterpillar story, and because it's me it's come in the form of felt! If only the little caterpillar didn't look so evil!
The best thing about finding bugs is that you can show children how special they are. The children in my room even protect the ants they come across!
Maybe these will give you ideas for your own stories, or perhaps the motivation to create!
In either way, Be Well and Choose Happiness!
