Felt Board Stories


Big Blue Boat flannelboard story 
Cut out a large, simple boat from blue felt. Cut out basic triangle shapes from other colors of felt for the sails. Put the appropriate shapes on your flannelboard as you recite the poem. Feel free to improvise with other colors, number of items and objects. 

I love to row in my big blue boat, 
My big blue boat, my big blue boat, I love to row in my big blue boat, 
Out on the deep blue sea. 

My big blue boat has two red sails, 
Two red sails, two red sails, 
My big blue boat has two red sails, 
Out on the deep blue sea. 
(improvise here -- three green sails, four gray mice, five brown cats, etc.) So come for a row in my big blue boat, My big blue boat, my big blue boat 



So come for a ride in my big blue boat, 
Out on the deep blue sea.


Color Balloons
(flannel script)
I had a great big red balloon
Until I let it go.
Now where, oh where, I wonder
Did my balloon blow?

I had a great big blue balloon
The string I held so tight
But when I opened up my hand
My balloon flew out of sight.

I had a great big green balloon
As pretty as could be
But when I let go of its string,
It flew away from me!

I had a great big yellow balloon
When I went out to play
But when I wasn't watching,
My balloon just flew away.

Red balloon, red balloon
Where can you be?
Red balloon, red balloon
Up in a tree.

Blue balloon, blue balloon
Where did you fly?
Blue balloon, blue balloon,
Up in the sky.

Green balloon, green balloon
Where can you be?
Green balloon, green balloon
Under the tree.

Yellow balloon, yellow balloon
Where did you fly?
Yellow balloon, yellow balloon
High in the sky.
