A Rainforest Rendezvous: Flannel Board/Magnetic Characters

All Grades

You can create flannel board or magnetic board images with this file. Then place the materials in your mini museum and watch as your students develop and use their language skills to explore rainforest mysteries! Magnetic Images: Run on magnetic printer paper to use the images on a cookie sheet or magnetic white board. Flannel Board: Run on cover stock, tag board, or heavy white drawing paper to use them on a flannel board. Laminate, and cut the images apart. Place a dot of sticky Velcro on the back of each figure. To Make a Flannel Board: Cover a piece of foam board with black or blue flannel. Tape all the edges securely in the back.

Public domain photographs were used to create these materials.
