Flannel Friday Roundup - July 25

It's time for the extra special birthday roundup, as promised!

Kathy, who was a Birthday Princess yesterday, made her own version of Color Fish. She was inspired by Abby the Librarian.

Lisa from Thrive After Three is sharing her Five Little Princesses rhyme with us. She's even included templates! Could they be Birthday Princesses? I think so!

Hannah from Lovin' the Library is playing I Spy with Forest Animals. Can you spot the animal who sleeps all winter?

Fireflies are buzzing around Jane's library! Read all about her community art project at her blog, Piper Loves the Library.

Anne from itsybitsymom has a tres cute flannel of Five Dinosaurs in the style of "One Elephant Went Out to Play". Roar! Roar! Roar!

Here at my blog I've made up a new rhyme to go with an old flannel board: Five Birthday Candles.

You can also find Flannel Friday on Facebook, Pinterest, and at our Flannel Friday Blog. If you're new to Flannel Friday, don't forget to add your name and location to our Where Is Flannel Friday map.

Thank you to everyone for tuning in!

Flannel Friday Reboot - Five Birthday Candles

Happy Birthday to me (tomorrow)!!!

I posted an Inspired By flannel waaaaay back in November of 2011 called Five Birthday Candles. The post was inspired by Storytime Katie. I used the flannel today in storytime, but was in a rush and didn't have time to memorize Jane Cobb's rhyme again. I made up a super simple, yet interactive, chant to go along with it:

Five Birthday Candles

Five birthday candles on a birthday cake

Let's blow one out...

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Now there are four birthday candles on a birthday cake...

--Miss Mollie

I'm hosting the round up this week, so be sure to check back later. You can also find Flannel Friday on Facebook, Pinterest, and at our Flannel Friday Blog. If you're new to Flannel Friday, don't forget to add your name and location to our Where Is Flannel Friday map.

Inspired by Flannel Friday - Five Birthday Candles

It's Flannel Friday yet again! On this special day, 11/11/11, blow out a candle and make a wish! This flannel was inspired by Katie (@katietweetsya) at storytime katie.

I used the song "Five Birthday Candles" from I’m a Little Teapot!: Presenting Preschool Storytime by Jane Cobb (Vancouver, BC: Black Sheep Press, 1996), but there are several others to choose from, including Katie's version. You could also make ten candles and use Melissa's song.

Don't forget to see what everyone else has been up to on this lucky Friday. The roundup is hosted by Sharon at Rain Makes Applesauce. Anne at so tomorrow has the archives from weeks past and the schedule for upcoming Fridays. If you're the visual sort, you can see the images of our submissions on our Pinterest page. And last but not least, join our Facebook page and keep the fun going all week long.
