Flannel Friday

I made this set to go along with my Steve Antony storytime in the fall. I used this free template from A Cup of Thuy to make the donuts. I made 12 little donuts and 5 big donuts. I used an illustration from Thank You, Mr. Panda to make the felt Mr. Panda. No puff paint on the donuts and just a little puff paint on Mr. Panda for his eyeballs.

To make this set, all I did was use a bear template found online to trace the shape of the bear onto brown flannel. The other pieces were all cut freehand. When we used "Boo Boo Bear" in preschool…
