Felt Board (Flannel Board) Songs and Poems
By Joyful Explorations
Felt-boards (or flannel boards) are a fabulous method of sharing music and rhythm with children by using visual props along with songs. My collection of songs and poems will help you to use your felt-board to its fullest potential. This set includes 30 songs and poems that are appropriate for preschool and kindergarten, and are perfect for circle time, group time or music class. I have included lots of old favorites, but some are new and fun songs and fingerplays that will enhance your curriculum.
The set includes more than a hundred adorable graphics which have recently been updated. All you have to do is print out the set and cut out the graphics. (You can laminate the images and attach felt or Velcro to the back if you want to use them on a flannel board or felt board.) Words to each song or poem are included and can be printed and glued onto 3x5 inch index cards.
This set includes the following songs and poems:
"Ants Go Marching"
“Apples and Bananas”
"The Big Train"
“Big Bugs, Small Bugs”
“Butterfly Poem”
"Color Poem"
“Cows on the Farm”
