Flannelboard
These cute yetis aren't based on anything in particular, just a design I drew up on my own. The blue one was the first one I made. It seems the most yeti-like to me because of the color scheme, but I didn't want all the yetis to be identical. Cool colors and neutral colors say "yeti" to me more than bright colors or warm colors. Perhaps I should have made a grey faced yeti instead of a pink one! Maybe in the future I'll either replace the pink one with another color or just make a full set of 10 and include a grey one in that. I used this for my yeti storytime. It could also work well for a general monster themed storytime, though I'd probably want to do monsters in multiple different colors for that!
Songs, Rhymes, Games, and Fingerplays
“Five Enormous Yetis”
(Tune: Five Enormous Dinosaurs)
Five enormous yetis letting out a roar,
Five enormous yetis letting out a roar,
One stomped away and then there were four.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,
stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, ROAR!
Four enormous yetis hiding in the trees,
One stomped away and then there were three.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,
stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, ROAR!
Three enormous yetis didn’t know what to do,
One stomped away and then there were two.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,
stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, ROAR!
Two enormous yetis having lots of fun,
One stomped away and then there was one.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,
stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, ROAR!
One enormous yeti saw the setting sun,
She stomped home and then there were none.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,
stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, ROAR!
Two little yetis looking at the clouds
Two little yetis sliding on the ice,
Two little yetis sitting in the cold
Two little yetis getting kind of chilly,
“Two little Yetis”
(Tune: Two Little Blackbirds)
Two little yetis playing in the snow,
One was fast and one was slow
Go away fast, go away slow,
Come back fast, come back slow
Two little yetis looking at the clouds
One was quiet and one was loud
Go away quiet, go away loud.
Come back quiet, come back loud.
Two little yetis sliding on the ice,
One was mean and one was nice
Go away mean, go away nice
Come back mean, come back nice
Two little yetis sitting in a cave One was scared and one was brave Go away scared, go away brave Come back scared, come back brave
Two little yetis sitting in a cave One was scared and one was brave Go away scared, go away brave Come back scared, come back brave
Two little yetis sitting in the cold
One was shy and one was bold
Go away shy, go away bold
Come back shy, come back bold
Two little yetis getting kind of chilly,
One was serious and one was silly
Go away serious, go away silly
Come back serious, come back silly
Two little yetis know it’s time to go One leaves high, the other leaves low Go away high, go away low We’re sad to see you go!
Two little yetis know it’s time to go One leaves high, the other leaves low Go away high, go away low We’re sad to see you go!
I used finger puppets for the fingerplay, but you could easily do it with two yetis on the flannelboard too!
