Flannel Friday: Little Robin Redbreast

Here is a flannel board I made with fabric crayons and fabric markers. I made it at home for my own little guy and haven't used it at the library yet. I found free coloring sheets online that I used for my outlines. I colored them with the fabric crayons and then transferred them to the felt. Then I embellished the flannel boards with some fabric markers and cut them out.

My favorite version of this nursery rhyme is Little Robin Redbreast: A Mother Goose Rhyme illustrated by Shari Halpern. I have used this book many times in my toddler storytimes.





Little Robin Redbreast
Little Robin Redbreast sat upon a tree,
Up went the Pussy-Cat,
and down went he,
Down came Pussy-Cat,
away Robin ran;
Says little Robin Redbreast:
"Catch me if you can!"

Little Robin Redbreast sat upon a spade,
Pussy-Cat jumped after him,
and then he was afraid.
Little Robin chirped and sang,
and what did Pussy say?
Pussy-Cat said:
"Mew, mew, mew,"
and Robin flew away.
