Getting ready for fall storytimes I saw the best idea on Miss Mary Liberry for Flannel Friday: (No Sew) Monster Finger Puppets. I already have a cute set of monsters but I knew I could use this inspiration to make a set of dinosaurs instead. This is my 3rd set of finger puppets and I love them the best. My first two pairs were too big and I could not put them on or take them off easily.
Dinosaur - Sung to the tune of One Elephant. See KCLS video for the tune.
One dinosaur went out to play
On a giant fern one day
She had such enormous fun
That she called for another dinosaur to come.
Oh Diiiiiiiiiiiinosaur!.
Two dinosaurs went out to play….
Three dinosaurs…
Four dinosaurs….
Five dinosaurs went out to play
On a giant fern one day
They had such enormous fun
That they played until the day was done!

I was inspired by folder stories last week. Other staff use them. I saw some ideas online. However I've never seen a librarian present a folder story so I didn't know how to begin. I did a quick google search and found a template I thought I could try.
(Not) Flannel Friday: “Mrs. Mark’s Favorite Color” File Folder Story
Here's the final result. I can't wait to test it on my storytime kids. Basically the folder has a cut out to reveal changes in the story. In my story the colors change and at the end there is a rainbow made of all the preceding colors. And if you are organized or have nimble fingers you can change out of the papers without dropping the contents of your folder story on the floor.
Next time I think I might try a story that didn't require you to cut out two holes for the colors to show through. For some reason I found this added feature really confusing.
