More Flannelboards at Playtime

Interacting with flannelboards helps build early literacy while also supporting math concepts.  Telling a story with felt pieces builds vocabulary and may also mimic the left-to-right process we use for reading in English.  They can be used to teach counting, sequencing, sorting, and shape recognition.

I love watching a caregiver and child tell a story together using the felt pieces. 

I usually bring out two flannelboard sets at each playtime.  Some of the popular sets include:

-          Five little penguins

-          Mouse Loves Cheese

-          Great Enormous Turnip

-          Five Little Umbrellas

-          Number set 0-10
