Pete the Cat Felt Board Story

Pete the Cat by Eric Litwin is becoming a popular story among young children. I recently made this
felt story for the preschool and I am really happy with the results.I like how the felt cat can be used
for two books: Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes as well as Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy
Buttons. I always start with a template on fairly thick paper. It was a little tricky to cut the curvy tail:)

The important part of this felt story is to make up your tune or follow the creators themselves:

Out in the Garden: Felt Board Poem for May

This is a wonderful felt set to sing with the following song, to the tune of Down By the Station

Out in the garden in the month of May
See the pretty flowers standing in a row
See the little birds flying down to greet them
Tweet tweet tweet and off they go.

Sing the same words and replace with

See the little bees...buzz, buzz, buzz
See the little butterflies...flutter, flutter, flutter


For an extension to this song, children can act out the song! In addition, it works well for circle time transitions.
