Flannel Board and Felties

I finally got around to making a flannel board.  It was super easy.  I used a recycled sheet of that foamie project board we had laying around.  Then I covered it in flannel (used 50% off coupon at JoAnn's) and hot glued it to the board. 

My boys had recently got these cute Pixar cutouts that I knew would be destroyed in a day.  So I covered them in clear contact paper (found cheapest at Walmart on the isle with shelfing paper).  The last step was to make them into a feltie by covering the back with glue stick and rubbing dryer lint on the glue.  This fabulous dryer lint idea was found on "Bust Out Your Crayons" .  Then S & L used these Pixar felties to tell their own stories using the Pixar characters.

 I made some Nativity story felties by cutting out pictures from "The Friend" magazine from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  A copy can be found here.

These are some felties for songs.  "Five Little Monkeys", "Old MacDonald" and "Five Little Speckled Frogs".  I had my boys help color these while I worked on the laminating part, they can also be found on "Bust Out Your Crayons", along with many other song and story feltie printables.  Make sure to read the directions on the sidebar about printing.
