Spring Flower Felt Glove Puppet



These fun Felt Glove Puppets are perfect for spring. On one side is the bulb, and the other side the tulip. So when the finger is closed the bulb can be seen and when opened the tulip pops up! 


Tulip Poem

Ten tulip bulbs planted in the ground
Can you see them? Will they be found?
The sun shone bright and the rain came down
And one little tulip sprung up from the ground

Felt Snowmen and Color Recognition


Felt Snowmen

These fun snowmen allow young children to decorate as well as match colors. It is a felt activity that is easy to make. After making templates of a snowman, hat and scarf, cut out five snowmen with different color clothes. The hat and scarf should match to allow children to experience color coordination with the activity. The snowmen can be decorated with eyes, carrot nose, smile and buttons. Try outlining the snowmen with crystal fabric paint for an extra touch. Here is a poem to attach to this felt activity:



Five little snowmen, on a winter's day.
The first one said, wake up so we can play
The second one said, let's stomp on the ground
The third one said, let's roll all around
The fourth one said, let's run and run and run
The fifth one said, I'm afraid I feel the sun
Oh dear, cried the snowmen
As they looked toward the sky
And the five melting snowmen
Waved a fond good bye
