Flannel Friday: Five Little Ninjas

Today's flannel is where it's at. I'm really proud of this one! I made up the rhyme, designed the flannel characters, and the kids really enjoyed it.

What am I talking about? Ninjas of course! There's been a influx of awesome ninja-based picture books lately, and I decided to take advantage of that. You can see the whole storytime I planned here, with some inspiration from Falling Flannelboards and Anne's Library Life.

Here's the flannel:

And the rhyme:

Five little ninjas, in their dojo,
Practicing the ninja way
‘Til one little ninja gets his mojo:
“HIYAH! Ready to save the day!”

And each ninja practices and practices, counting down, until they're all ready to save the day. The kids really enjoyed the "HIYAH!" and it got some chuckles from the parents. I hope you like it, too!
