Daddy's Ties
(sung to the tune of "Mary Wore Her Red Dress")
Daddy wore his purple tie,
purple tie, purple tie.
Daddy wore his purple tie
All day long.
Daddy wore his yellow tie,
yellow tie, yellow tie
Daddy wore his yellow tie
All day long.
Daddy wore his blue tie,
blue tie, blue tie
Daddy wore his blue tie
All day long.
Daddy wore his red tie,
red tie, red tie
Daddy wore his red tie
All day long.
I think this is my best flannel board set so far - and it has a lot of possibilities! I just made simple, plain-colored ties because I didn't have the time or supplies to get fancy, but I think it would be fun to make polka-dotted ties, striped ties, plaid ties - even bow ties. It's also the kind of idea that can be extrapolated to other things. I'm already thinking of making a similar set for a grandma or grandpa and who wears many different-colored pairs of glasses.
The clip art I used for this is in a pdf file here. Ties were tricky to find on Google, and I had to recolor the ones I did find in Word. If you're a fan of actual felt, it might be easier to just use a template and make your own cloth ties.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I can't wait to do this one.
ReplyDeleteLuckily we have a tie die cut. Thanks for the great father's day idea.
OOOH. I really love the idea of different colored ties. And this would be a great addition to my family storytime in the fall; gotta get a mom part too though!
