Cut and Paste Objects with a picture of the tree

# data[].attributes.body
Advantages
1. Table-top activity
2. Able to practice colouring

Disadvantages
1. Each item is cut out according to the squares and not the outline of the objects
2. Objects are not proportional to how they would be like in reality
3. Objects that are pasted first are covered by the objects that are pasted later

How I would adapt/change it
- Provide the outlines for each item such that it can be cut according to how they are shaped
- Ensure that the objects are proportional to how they would be like in reality
- Provide a large enough surface area for all objects to be pasted such that they can each be seen clearly

# data[].attributes.body
Advantages
1. Tree is very realistic
2. Able to learn sequencing

Disadvantages
1. Items are pasted onto the bark of the tree instead of onto the canopy of the tree
2. Random items are pasted onto the tree as well; does not fully reflect the story itself

How I would adapt/change it
- Include only the items mentioned in the story while telling the story

# data[].attributes.body
Advantages
1. Able to practice cutting skills
2. Able to practice two-hand manipulation

Disadvantages
1. Might be too abstract for some children
2. Children who do not have adequate cutting skills will not be able to join in the activity

How I would change/adapt it
- Include concrete objects for children who might require them

# data[].attributes.body
Advantages

Hi Folks! Long time no blog!

In October, my YS dept presented our second annual Latest and Greatest in Children's Books teacher workshop. All the material covered has to newly published (released between October 2011-September 2012, so the challenge is picking flannelizable material from a small selection of books.

Earlier this year @nikarella of Narrating Tales of Preschool Storytime made the impossible possible. She made a flannelized (actually magnetized version of Stuck! by Oliver Jeffers. I read this book when it first came out, and I love this book...it's almost flannelizable, except for the fact that flannelizing it would be TOTALLY INSANE! It's such an absurdly madcap story, with so many pieces, only a maniac would flannelize this story! Leave it to one of original #FF bloggers, to be that maniac! I never would have considered doing this if you hadn't done it first! Thanks lady.

Here's my version:

Still, I wan't quite ready to make it happen, until, well, I had to. There are a lot of pieces, but now that it's done, I am so glad I put in the time because it's a huge hit in storytime.

Oh, as you can see in the picture, I don't have an actual tree to stick to the flannelboard. I actually made one, but about 5 minutes before opening the doors for the program, I left it at home. I was frantic, until I realized, duh, the white board is magnetized, and even the most drawing impaired person can draw a tree on the spot. Plus, my tree was a little clunky, and prone to crinkling, falling and other flannelizing disasters anyway, so I'm sticking with the drawn version in the future.

And just to make flannelizing Stuck easier for the teachers, and now you, dear readers, here's the pdf I gave to all the teachers who attending the Latest and Greatest 2012.

Just download, print, laminate, cut, magnetize...and (finally!) you're ready to go:

Cheers dears! And I'm hosting the round up this week, so check back later tonight for the some more flannelized wackiness!
