Last night I stayed up until\u00c2\u00a0ten o’clock working on two more feltboard stories:\u00c2\u00a0 versions of Mouse’s First Halloween <\/em>by Lauren Thompson and\u00c2\u00a0Humbug Witch <\/em>by Lorna Balian.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll use the mouse story with this morning’s toddler storytime (replacing the hugely un<\/em><\/strong>successful Leaf Man <\/em>by Lois Ehlert that I used in the two Monday toddler storytimes), and I’ll use both stories with this afternoon’s preschool storytime.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Halloween is just about my favorite holiday, and I’m really looking forward to these two storytimes.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a great feeling when I find a story that translates well to a feltboard retelling, and an even better feeling when I actually have the time to create the felt pieces.<\/p>\n

In other feltboard news, last Friday I hosted a preschool class for a storytime, and used my in-process pieces (in-process because this is such an involved story\u00c2\u00a0to translate to\u00c2\u00a0the\u00c2\u00a0medium of felt) for Where’s Spot? <\/em>by Eric Hill.\u00c2\u00a0 The kids loved the story, and one even cried out mid-story:\u00c2\u00a0 “This is cool!\u00c2\u00a0 It’s just like a puppet show!!”<\/p>\n

Someday, I promise, I’ll post a few photos of my felt stories.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m having so much fun making and using them that I’d really love to share them with the three people who read my blog…or is it four?\u00c2\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
