Jeans Purse

Posted by funfelt on Monday Mar 19, 2007 Under

Hi everyone! I got this cute idea from one of my July97 Moms, Jenn. Enjoy!

-

Meggie had a pair of jeans that she absolutely loved. She was starting to
outgrow them, plus she developed holes in both knees, so I finally told her
we were going to have to get rid of them.

I turned them into a little jeans purse and it’s really cute. I cut off the
legs and sewed the bottom shut. I made a rope out of some long fleece scraps
that I braided together. I looped the rope through the belt loops and tied
it together - now she can cinch it shut.

She carried around the purse all day today. The back pockets have snaps, so
she has two places to store loose objects, plus the inside of the purse plus
the former front pockets. A bunch of people commented on how cute it was in
the grocery store.

Skit: Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Posted by funfelt on Tuesday Mar 6, 2007 Under

This skit was written to be used with our Stage Play Felt Masks available from Story Time Felts, but you can use it with any props such as hand puppets, other masks, stuffed animals, or just use it as a reader’s theater.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

The 3 bears are sitting around the kitchen table with bowls of porridge.

Mama Bear: This porridge is much too hot! Let;s go for a walk while it cools off.

The three bears get up and leave. There is a knock on the door that they walked out of, and in comes Goldilocks. She sees the porridge, sits down at the largest bowl, and takes a bite.

Goldilocks: Oh, this is much too hot!

She moves to the middle sized bowl, and takes a bite.

Goldilocks: This is much too cold!

She moves to the smallest bowl, and takes a bite.

Goldilocks: Mmmm! This is just right!

She eats all the porridge. When she is done, she starts exploring the house, and comes upon the largest chair. She climbs in and sits down.

Goldilocks: My! This chair is very hard!

She moves to the middle sized chair and sits down.

Goldilocks: This chair is much too soft!

She moves to the smallest chair, sits down, and starts to rock.

Goldilocks: Oh! This chair is just right!

She rocks and rocks until the chair breaks! She then continues to explore, and finds the beds. She lays down on the largest bed.

Goldilocks: This bed is too hard!

She moves to the middle sized bed and lies down.

Goldilocks: Goodness! This bed is much too soft!

She moves to the smallest bed and lies down and falls fast asleep. Meanwhile, the bears return from their walk. They look at the bowls of porridge.

Papa Bear: Somebody has been eating my porridge!

Mama Bear: Somebody has been eating my porridge, too!

Baby Bear: Somebody has been eating my porridge, and ate it all gone!

The bears then go to their chairs and look at them.

Papa Bear: Somebody has been sitting in my chair!

Mama Bear: Somebody has been sitting in my chair, too!

Baby Bear: Somebody has been sitting in my chair (begins to cry), and broke it all to pieces!

Mama Bear calms Baby Bear and they all go to the beds.

Papa Bear: Somebody has been sleeping in my bed!

Mama Bear: Somebody has been sleeping in my bed, too!

Baby Bear: Somebody has been sleeping in my bed, and there she is!

Goldilocks wakes up, sees the bears, looks frightened, and runs away.

Papa Bear: I’ll bet that little girl never goes into a house uninvited again!

ALL: THE END!
