Winter Felt Board or Flannel Board Songs and Poems
By Joyful Explorations
This set of 21 winter-themed songs is the perfect way to celebrate the season. Each song comes with adorable graphics that can be used on a flannel board/ felt board. (Simply cut out the graphics, laminate them and attach felt to the backs of the pictures.)
