Flannel Friday - BRRRRRR

Bundle Up!
It's cold out there!

Yes!  The weather outside is frightful - yet, here in New England we know how to handle that.  Layers!  We wear layers of clothing.  

Yesterday I came across an old post-it with words written on it.. for what must be a flannel board song but I had no idea of the source.  Since I am not the confident-singing or talented-song-writing sort...I knew these words were copied from someone, somewhere.  I visited our FF pinterest page and checked out the Clothing and the Winter boards to no avail.  And then, the very talented sotomorrow gal, Anne - sent me an email to let me know that she located the words on Mel's Desk!  Yay!  Once I linked I completely remembered reading the song there.  Many thanks to Anne and Mel. And here is another version that Anne found.  Oh, how I love our FF family. 

And now...my vision/version includes these items:

I picked up a sparkly purple/blue heavy paper from the scrap booking section at Michael's and added magnets to the back.  (my flannel board is magnetic)  I already had all the other colors!  

Here's the song  (to the tune of London Bridge is falling down)

Parka, boots and scarf and hat

Scarf and hat

Scarf and hat

Parka, boots and scarf and hat

In wintertime we dress like that!  

(then, you KNOW you just have to do this)

OH NO...BRRRR my hands are freezing!

DON'T FORGET YOUR MITTENS!!

Here we go...are you ready?  It's cold outside.

What do we need to wear to go for a walk in the winter?

Parka

Boots

And scarf and hat

Scarf and hat

Scarf and hat

Parka, boots and scarf and hat

In winter time we dress like that!

OH NO!  BRRRRR 

My hands are freezing!

(big pause here...shrug your shoulders, look at all those little ones...and just wait for it...they will tell you)

"YOU NEED MITTENS!"

Don't forget your mittens!!

Sing it again (and again, and again) Use your hands to motion to where each item belongs on the body.

And there you are!

All set for a cold day in Connecticut
