Flannel Friday: Three Melting Popsicles

Three melting popsicles

sticky and sweet

I ate the green one -

what a yummy treat!

(Rub stomach and say, "Yum yum!")

Two melting popsicles

sticky and sweet

I ate the purple one -

what a yummy treat!

(Rub stomach and say, "Yum yum!")

One melting popsicle

sticky and sweet

I ate the red one -

what a yummy treat!

(Rub stomach and say, "Yum yum!")

No more popsicles

sticky and sweet

I guess I'll have to find

something else to eat!

I'm on a summer-themed flannel board kick. Last week was sandcastles, and this week it's popsicles. I had trouble with the colors on my library's color printer and ended up having to recolor the clip art above in Word to get colors that looked halfway decent. Google has a bunch of popsicle images - I recommend tracking down your own if you want to use this rhyme. Or make them from felt. I have run completely out of felt at my library for the moment, but that's what I will probably do eventually.

Once again, I wrote the rhyme myself. The challenge of writing them becomes sort of addictive after a while - I'm already pondering ideas for one about flip-flops, and maybe one about sunglasses. I'm also thinking of trying to get a head start for the Fall, but so far there hasn't been time for that.

Katie at Storytime Katie has the round-up this week. Don't miss it!
