I wrote about it <a href="https://flannelboardfun.blogspot.com/2022/03/ramadan-storytime-set.html" target="_blank">here</a>.

(I know--seems like a strange requirement to me, too!) But anyway...Weather conversations occurred naturally, since weather is something that typically affects all of us in some way or another. Raining? The kids had rain gear on and likely got wet on the way to school. Snowing? Maybe we'll go outside and we'll have to put on some snow gear! Hot and sunny? We'll be sure we've all got sunscreen on for playground time...</p><p>But just in case it didn't come up in natural conversation, Weather Bear is a great workaround :) </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.flannelboardfun.com/product/dress-up-weather-bear-felt-board-set/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="3000" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdKRMsz8Aa1bVv3ux-CFp4GCkfo3euHdttvS7XXPTvbHtbJXxTHqDeB-LSvfdR4dQntdqkQQZdicnSy2H5N4piIUCxWMpi1w4BxqRD9BwlL6vkZPIPrYAvwH5yaZMfBuirKIgTDPxFYouyGX2GGxvAPy4I7SxhCdr-1PRBtw-HiAhdtEa2w0xrlaav7Pl8/s320/Weather%20Bear%20Felt%20Activity-01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.flannelboardfun.com/product/dress-up-weather-bear-felt-board-set/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="3000" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKB2Sfq5FalxK5bUSmjPT3twvkp5Y-gyMNGRNuZgkOiNBZuDmrRosAKydjaonsTFrJsWzljT8MDq2-Aymkl0MwCDuVRk7Y1Pzf6t4SH4tef4USoTFvhB1J3JhXKABti7I3YM2GocvTFx_dIcMIrC7lmgWEkcySEh1scdqYmXJ2RLt5SCpw1CXxEol2pKdI/s320/Weather%20Bear%20Felt%20Activity-02.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a video I made to go along with this set </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(which, by the way, is also perfect for kids to play with independently!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="334" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kz1lP4lCb4w" width="480" youtube-src-id="Kz1lP4lCb4w"></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a data-pin-do="buttonFollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/wendro/">Pinterest</a></div>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15112759573476453994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389496056850130706.post-21821153066416910482023-10-27T13:10:00.002-04:002023-10-27T13:10:35.497-04:00Christmas Play Felt Board Set<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Montserrat; text-align: center;">I've had a lot of fun creating some holiday sets for holidays that I don't personally celebrate (like</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Montserrat; text-align: center;"> </span><a href="https://flannelboardfun.blogspot.com/search?q=diwali" style="background-color: white; color: #6982a6; font-family: Montserrat; text-align: center; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Diwali</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Montserrat; text-align: center;">, and</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Montserrat; text-align: center;"> </span><a href="https://flannelboardfun.blogspot.com/search?q=kwanzaa" style="background-color: white; color: #6982a6; font-family: Montserrat; text-align: center; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Kwanzaa</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Montserrat; text-align: center;">, and</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Montserrat; text-align: center;"> </span><a href="https://flannelboardfun.blogspot.com/search?q=ramadan" style="background-color: white; color: #6982a6; font-family: Montserrat; text-align: center; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Ramadan</a>, <span style="font-family: Montserrat;">and <a href="https://flannelboardfun.blogspot.com/2023/10/hanukkah-play-and-storytime-set.html" target="_blank">Hanukkah</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: center;">!</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Montserrat; text-align: center;">) (I was right--it WAS fun, and wow, I learned a lot while doing research for those sets.)

Often these cumulative stories have the smallest animal/character come last to help, and lo and behold, that's the one that saves the day. But if you know me, you know I like to mix things up. So in my version, it really doesn't matter who comes first, last, or in between. It's all about working together to help each other.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">Enjoy!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Montserrat;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="320" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fQLfHETVW9o" width="481" youtube-src-id="fQLfHETVW9o"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Lots more <a href="https://www.flannelboardfun.com/videos/" target="_blank">videos are right here!</a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Montserrat;"><br /></span></div><br /><span style="font-family: Montserrat;"><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a data-pin-do="buttonFollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/wendro/">Pinterest</a></div>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15112759573476453994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389496056850130706.post-58489835318184192212023-04-11T07:42:00.004-04:002023-04-11T07:49:45.068-04:00Cumulative Story: Kite Stuck in a Tree<p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">A little bird told me that the summer reading program this year is All Together Now.

This fun Six Colorful house finger play and rhyme is so fun for kids (and teachers) at circle time or story time. House and construction vocabulary words are introduced or re-enforced; color naming and counting are sneakily tucked inside, too! Let’s play to learn!</span></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/isBt82MkfOk" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPTU8BUun-tjWYwyT5KK_m-OGMcW7O-1mprUSUkGJtkTQLBqLrxEJgz8tqwl4OPLonBbPdfm9e6_TiXtGjePjmQhYCPFT2LEbGjaJ3CUnvwnfc4Rg6QcrBtjz-kgLDFpT0HR-QwKRxnEG2X2PNpXFJCY8IHC97RIrXMIHyoQ9-dqIC0JXsIT5OCZDSNw/w640-h360/2022%20YouTube%20Thumbnails.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Montserrat;"><br /></span><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a data-pin-do="buttonFollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/wendro/">Pinterest</a></div>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15112759573476453994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389496056850130706.post-62971971294548911632022-08-14T18:37:00.002-04:002023-03-13T19:45:36.696-04:00Counting Down Trucks!<h2 style="text-align: left;"> Ah, colors, counting and construction.
