Flannel Friday-Halloween Hilda

Every so often I like to browse through our state's interloan system for flannelboard/programming/early literacy books and recently I found an older one called Super Storytelling by Carol Catron from 1986 (ISBN 0513017933).  It contained a lot of great counting rhymes and patterns that ended up on my TBD (to be done) pile.  One such rhyme is Halloween Hilda.  I like this rhyme because I could make Hilda the witch on a foam core board and make her giant-sized


To make your own Hilda, I copied the pattern 150% bigger to help me gauge how to get her onto the board.  She is drawn and colored with Sharpie markers to make her bright.  To make the pocket for the rhyme, I cut the top (the zipper part) off of a gallon-sized Ziploc bag and glued it over her apron.  I like that it is clear so it isn't obvious it is there.

While you will have to get the book (or email me directly) to get the whole story/rhyme, Hilda eats the following:
1 spider
2 bats

3 frogs

4 pumpkins

and 5 scary monsters



Now I can't wait until Halloween so I can pull out Hilda!

This week's round-up is hosted by Erin at Falling Flannelboards
