Flannels, Songs and Story Extensions

Stories To Tell With Puppets/Flannels
Good Night Owl by Pat Hutchins
Hoot Owl Count
Little Owl Lost by Chris Haughton
Whoo Goes There?  by Jennifer Ericsson
Who's in the Forest?  by Phillis Gershator

Five Little Owls
Five little owls going whoo-whoo-whoo
I kissed one - and away he flew!
(Countdown until none are left)

Five Hoot Owls -- flannel example and flannel pattern from Sunflower Storytime

Five hoot owls sitting in a tree
One flew away! How many do you see?
One, two, three, four.
(Repeat and count down until none are left) 

Owl in the Tree
(Tune of Skip to My Lou)
Owl in the tree goes, “Hoo, hoo hoo,”
Owl in the tree goes, “Hoo, hoo hoo,”
Owl in the tree goes, “Hoo, hoo hoo,”
Skip to my lou, my darling.

Robin in the nest goes, “Tweet, tweet, tweet…”
Duck in the pond goes, “Quack, quack, quack…”
Rooster in the yard goes, “Cock a doodle doo…”

Owl version of "Wheels On the Bus"
The owls in the forest go whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo
The owls in the forest go whoo, whoo, whoo
All night long.

Repeat with:
The rabbits in the forest go bounce, bounce, bounce...
The bats in the forest go flap, flap, flap...

Thanks for the owl mask idea! I am thrilled to be able to retrofit some alien masks I made for last summer into a new craft.
