Flannel Boards
“Mother Nature’s Gift” from Teeny-Tiny Folktales by Jean Warren.
Five Little Umbrellas
(Traditional, adapted by Debbie Brightwell Brown. Use the pattern provided at the end of
this chapter to cut out five umbrellas from felt, fun foam, or paper in the appropriate
colors. Put all five umbrellas on the flannel board and remove them one at a time as you
recite the rhyme.)
Five happy umbrellas stood by the door,
The blue one went outside, and then there were four.
Four little umbrellas, pretty as could be,
The red one went outside, and then there were three.
Three bored umbrellas with nothing to do,
The green one went outside, and then there were two.
Two sad umbrellas, not having much fun,
The yellow went outside, and then there was just one.
One little umbrella, standing alone in the hall,
He also got to go outside, yeah! And that was all.
