Okay, I know we’re no where near October, but I’ve been wanting to update the Five Little Monsters flannelboard that I made last fall, and I finally got around to it recently! My original set of monsters are very small, and with my storytime crowds getting bigger, I need flannel pieces that everyone can see. So I made the monsters bigger and even have a template to share for this week’s Flannel Friday!

There’s another version of this song that would be perfect with these cuties! The kids love this, I end up singing all year instead of just in October for Halloween! The song is fast paced, and sometimes we act it out while singing.

No more monsters jumping in the house!
