Who Sank the Boat?
Here's another story that was included on a list of books that translate well into flannel boards. Who Sank the Boat by Pamela Allen. I got the pattern here.
Dear Zoo
Ah, Storytime Katie how you inspire me! Though I didn't follow all of Katie's techniques, I was determined to make those cages and zoo critters after seeing what a wonderful job she did. I used sheets of black sticker felt and cut them into strips using an exacto knife and this ruler. I used a hole punch to make the black circles, and a rectangular hole punch to make the smaller lock parts on the camel's cage. Fabric paint for smaller dots and animal eyes...
When I know I'm going to layer pieces on the board, I tend to make only the bottom layers using the collage method. I really love the way the black background looks using that method, but the pieces are a lot stiffer and thicker, so they don't stick as well to each other and can topple right off the board mid-story. So with Dear Zoo, for example, I used the collage method for the animals, but just did plain, un-backed felt for the cages so they would layer easily and not fall off the animals.

Dog's Colorful Day
Everyone seems to make this one, so I figured I would too! I used clip art for all the "accessories" that color dog throughout his day... Got the pattern for Dog right here.

Mouse's First Fall
I love the simplicity of Mouse's First Fall. It's the first flannel board story I created without copying someone else's idea, so I'm making it my first post on this blog.
I scanned a page from the board book and traced Mouse and Minka. I used clipart for inspiration for the leaves.

The picture below shows how I store most of my flannel board stories: a zip lock bag, the words to the story, and a labeled piece of card stock cut down to fit in the bag. Sometimes if there aren't a lot of words, I just write them out onto the card stock. Sometimes a story or felt set will have various ways to be used, so all the different songs/words/chants/etc. are printed out and stored in the bag too.
