I participated in a storytime swap a few weeks back - because, what better time of year than right between two holidays and lots of time off work, right?
It was great though - I got to use my crafty skillz and send one of my favorite flannel stories to someone across the country and I had the anticipation of receiving something of my own!
Ann sent me a participatory flannel called "Five Little Cookies in the Bakery Shop"
The great thing is, she included way more than 5 pieces, so when I use it in storytime, every kid in there will be able to particpate!
The flannel board has all the cookies on it and all the kids get a flannel nickel piece.

I sent Ann a Father's Day flannel story called "Daddy's Ties". It's pretty simple. You put a head on the board and every kid gets a different tie - they're all decorated differently, colors, stripes, stars, bow ties, etc.
DADDY’S TIES
(sung to the tune of "Mary Wore Her Red
Dress")
Put the face of the daddy on the flannel
board. Add each tie as you go through
the song.
Daddy wore his purple tie,
purple tie, purple tie.
Daddy wore his purple tie
All day long.
(cont. with all the different colors, shapes, etc until all kids add their ties)
I don't have a picture of what I made,
HERE is where I got the template from (also the following picture is from Storytime Secrets
