Flannel Friday: Loads of Candy & a Touch of Gingerbread

on December 2, 2011

The Tech Club kids started a trailer for the Candy Shop War (It is almost fin­ished. I’ll share our learn­ing curve when I share the com­pleted video). While these felt candy pieces don’t show up much in the video, I made them to dec­o­rate the pup­pet the­atre that we used as the sweet shop. I made five of each type because I fig­ured that way they would work for all sorts of future “five lit­tle” sto­ry­time activ­i­ties. Five Lit­tle Candy Canes fits the sea­son, but, as you can see, I had Hal­loween in mind as well. Using the sand­cas­tle pieces I made in the sum­mer, they can also make a gin­ger­bread house for the sea­son. The next addi­tion I’d like to make is Hansel, Gre­tel and an old lady a la Melissa’s felt peo­ple.

Today’s Hol­i­day Extrav­a­ganza roundup is hosted by Library Quine at Loons and Quines. You can also find past and future roundups, at So Tomor­row. For a visual round-up of all post­ings, check out Flan­nel Fri­day on Pin­ter­est.

    Beau­ti­ful. and a lot of work. almost as much as a real gin­ger­bread house! But a lot of plan­ning and atten­tion to detail and you’ll be using this for a lonnnng time! Nice.

  3. They look so yummy! And so ver­sa­tile too!
