This week’s Flan­nel Fri­day post is cour­tesy of my won­der­ful coworker, Karen. Dur­ing July, Karen has Tur­tle Sto­ry­time planned for many of her out­reach vis­its so she made these cute lit­tle guys with craft foam and some puffy paint. As she says, “each one is dif­fer­ent because we are all unique.”

She made some adap­ta­tions to a rhyme she found to use with them.

Five Lit­tle Tur­tles
One lit­tle tur­tle with noth­ing to do
Called for his friend, and then there were two
Two tur­tles strolling by a tree
Saw their buddy, now there are three
Three tur­tles, a log as their floor
Made room for a pal, now there are four
Four tur­tles warm­ing in the sun
Saw a fifth friend and said, “What fun!“
Five tur­tle friends went out to play
And went home tired at the end of the day.
