Jane's Felt

One of the customers at my library, Jane, made a little felt kitty! 

Halloween Feltboards 2021

 As part of our Halloween events at my library, we made a feltboard scavenger hunt. The customers go do the games/songs on the boards and get to take a litle felty thing (cut by our brother cutting machine) home with them. The feltboards are made by using recycled signs covered in felt using spray mount as an adhesive. Here are tha boards:

Spooky Haunted House

Kawaii Halloween 2021!

 Last year during the COVID shutdown, my coworkers and I went a little crazy making Halloween decorations. They are remarkably easy to make in large sizes. We blow up patterns in Microsoft Publisher. You can create tiled patterns in whatever size you wish. Felt by the yard is available at Joanns. My boss wanted Haloween-y but not scary. :) I think we did it. Here is the tutorial for making felt stuff.

Five Little Rockets!

Five Little Sharks!

 

Five Little Sharks!

This rhyme is super catchy:

Five Little Pandas

Guess What? Tails and Tales...

 Guess What?

Hypothetically this is a Tails and Tales board, but you know what it really is: 

Animal Butts!

Five Little Ducks

Five Little Penguins

Letter Train...in Space!

I've been looking for a way to visually represent the progress of storytime that is easily readable by young kids. The letter train is an attempt to serve this purpose while giving myself more space to display lots of felt things. I was going for a mashup of the Soul Train and a Pride parade.

So Extra! 

Just like me!

Game of 'Shrooms!

I made a bunch of felt mushrooms to give out for Attaboy's "Game of 'Shrooms" day this Saturday June 12. Here are two hint pictures on where to find them. 

Attaboy's art is pretty great. I love his series of rocks painted like rocks and paintings of rocks. 

Mister Keith is still Online

Kawaii Rocketship Run and Hiding Game!

Laurie Berkner is a perennial storytime favorite. Her song, "Rocketship Run" is perfect for this summer's Universe of Stories theme. It is also a great segue into Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!
