I'm not sure what the original source for this is, but it seems to appear all over the place on the Internet, and none of the sites I looked at credited it to anyone. If I'm wrong and you know where credit goes, I'll gladly update.
This is one of the first flannels I made, before I was even a librarian. I did a few weeks of storytime subbing and I made this for a fall theme. It is always appreciated. I use Sharpies to add detail to my flannel stories, but I dab or tap the ink on rather than writing normally. Writing normally pulls of up the fibers in the felt.

| Empty Basket |
 |
| The first apple in the basket was a bright and shiny red. |
 |
| The second apple in the basket said, "My, what a cozy bed." |
 |
| The third apple in the basket said, "Now we two are a pair." |
 |
| The fourth apple in the basket said, "Please move over there." |
 |
| The fifth apple in the basket said, "Oh dear, oh me oh my. This basket looks like pastry--I think we're in a pie!" |

Why I like it:
- Talk about feelings
- Sorting
- Talk about colors
- Opens up a conversation about real apples

Hi Miss Anna, Thanks for the tip about dabbing or tapping the sharpie, I ran into the problem with the fibres just yesterday!
ReplyDeletei like the face changes on your apple. Four is clearly put-out.
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks Sharon. #4 is my favorite! Making him look cranky was teh only way the rhyme made sense to me.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I'll definitely be stealing this when we get ready for fall storytimes. :)
