It all started when I found this song while hunting for flannelboard resources. I knew RIGHT AWAY I wanted to make it into a flannelboard!:
If you should meet an elephant on a summer’s day
What would you do? What would you say?
I’d say “Good Morning Elephant, how do you do?”
I’m glad to meet you elephant, I’d like to dance with you.”
The song continues with different animals for each of the 4 seasons. So I created this (not the same animals as on the original song, but I don’t think the kind of animal is that important):
The patterns of the animals came from OpenClipArt. I then created these backgrounds for the seasons (which I freehanded and am EXTREMELY proud of) with some iconic images to help the kids figure out which season it is if they can’t yet read the words:
Put them together, and you have this!:
DTLK has also included SHEET MUSIC, which means I can probably learn this for the ukulele. Also there are activities and craft suggestions! This flannel would be great for an animals or seasons storytime, obviously. Or a music storytime?

Love it! I’m not sure I’d be able to make my own seasonal backgrounds like that, but I’m already pondering ways of adapting that song.
Also, I think it’s awesome that you play the ukulele! I have been wanting to learn, but I’m hesitant.
As Cate says on the Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/flannelfridayfun/), you are the Puffy Paint Master! Please consider a masterclass – I’d be the first to sign up!
I’m using those images for a story too! they’re pretty irresistible. I love what you did with them. I love these little tiles. Is this puffy paint? I was thinking about puffy paint the other day… do you use it a lot? Do you recommend it? do you have any tips? techniques/brand/store?
I love your scenes — and am so impressed that you did those freehand!
A-FREAKIN’-MAZING.
This is so cute, thanks for sharing 🙂
