Happy Friday and hopefully a long Labor Day weekend everyone! This is a set I made a few weeks ago during the Olympics to go with a fun action rhyme my wonderful co-worker Janell came up with. Here it goes:
tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb
See the runners run, run, run
Run run run, run run run.
See the runners run, run, run
At the Olympics!
(repeat with other athletes and actions- swimmers swim, riders jump, wrestlers roll, gymnasts twirl, etc).
I made this fun set by using the following technique. It was pretty easy and I love how the figures turned out! (In fact it was so easy I may never make time-consuming felt sets again… just kidding! T-shirt transfer paper actually can be pretty expensive). One thing I want to emphasize is that you need an INK JET printer for this to work. Do not try to put fabric transfer paper through a laser printer. It will be bad. Very bad. Also, if the paper starts turning yellow while you’re ironing- STOP! If it starts to smell like something’s burning… STOP! 🙂
I used clip art from a set I purchased from David’s Simple Teaching on Teachers Pay Teachers.
Thanks Lisa for hosting this week! Don’t forget to check out the rest of the round-up at Libraryland!!
