Flannel Friday: Five Little Pumpkins

My contribution to this week's Flannel Friday is a five little pumpkin's flannelboard. It can be used with any of the many versions of "Five Little Pumpkins" that are out there. The version I use is one I found on one of my favorite sites, Step by Step Childcare.

Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins at my door,

A neighbor took one and then there were four.

Four little pumpkins under a tree,

Along came a farmer and then there were three.

Three little pumpkins that looked so new,

I gave one away and then there were two.

Two little pumpkins out in the sun,

Mom made a pie and then there was one.

Of all the pumpkins there was just one.

So I made a Jack-O-Lantern and that was fun!

To make my flannelboard I used a template to trace the pumpkin shapes out of felt. The stems are cut out of beige felt and glued on with Tacky Glue.

For the final pumpkin (which is made into a Jack-O-Lantern)  I made a Jack-O-Lantern face out of black felt. I drew it free hand.
