Flannel Friday: Daddy's Ties

Father's Day is coming, and I have all my books picked out for next week's story times, but couldn't find a Dad-themed rhyme or song that I really liked. So I came up with my own, and made a flannel board set using clip art to go with it.

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.
