Flannel Friday ~ Mice are Nice!!

Find the Mice!

(book by Melanie Watt)

Do you see any mice yet?

Mice?   

Is that mouse hot glued to a stick?

(paint stirrer from your friendly 

Sherwin Williams Paint Store!)

Mice?   Eeeeekkkk!!!  

Mice-on-sticks!  Really?  Yes!

This week the Capitol Region Children's Round Table met at The Cora J Belden Library in Rocky Hill, CT, for Flannel Fest!  Piper and I came home with mice!  Six mice...but now there are twelve! 

More mice each night..mice with pants, mice on sticks!

My thanks to Heather Baker for the mouse template and this adorable idea:

Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock

(move your mouse-on-a-stick back and forth)

Hickory, Dickory, Dock

The mouse ran up the clock

(run your little mouse-on-a-stick up your arm)

The clock struck one 

BONG! 

(tap your head one time with your mouse-on-a-stick)

and down he run

Hickory, Dickory, Dock

Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock

Hickory, Dickory, Dock

The mouse ran up the clock

The clock struck two

BONG!  BONG!

(two taps)

PEEK-A-BOO

(hide your mouse behind your hand...twice!!)

PEEK-A-BOO

Hickory, Dickory, Dock

Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock

Hickory Dickory Dock

The mouse ran up the clock

The clock struck three

BONG!  BONG!  BONG!

The mouse squealed "wheeee"

(slide him down your arm three times)

Wheeeee!

Wheeee!

Hickory Dickory Dock!

I plan to make about 20 mice on sticks!  One for each child to use in story time. 

Ellen Stoll Walsh has written a series of mice books.  This one is great fun!  

 

Piper found another pony!!

 There are two ponies in the Children's Room at The Cora Belden Library... and lots of room for riding!  This is a beautiful, spacious, and friendly library.  The displays of student artwork, the flags from many countries, and the rainbow with a pot of gold made it all very inviting and exciting!  Piper took a rest before we left...take a look!

Thank you Miss Cathy, we loved visiting your library!

The Flannel Fest was great and so were the m&m's!!

P.S. (Piper script):  Read to Toby , a reading therapy dog, in the library!  I want to visit Toby!
