This week, the Flannel Friday Round Up is featuring the upcoming summer library program, Dig into Reading. Sherry Duskey Rinker's Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site combines a favorite of little boys in every generation, trucks, with one of the most important factors in pre-literacy, rhyme.
Die-cutting can be challenging with felt, but works great with craft foam. While cutting shapes from the dies that rotate through the libraries in our system, I was only missing the crane in order to allow the storytime crowd a tactile connection to this book. It was easy enough to trace the digger and extend its arm into a crane. These pieces have velcro added to the back for use on the flannel board.
