I didn’t want to put my originals in the storybox in case they got lost or some pieces went missing, so I color photo-copied the pieces, cut them out, laminated them, and then put felt on the back. (I know there are 6 dancers in the picture – I made one extra in case.) I had made me a version of this flannelboard and it was colored in pellon.

Ideally, there should be enough variety that the box can be used for infants/toddlers, preschoolers, and lower elementary ages. They contain everything a storyteller would need for a successful storytime including books, videos, fingerplays and crafts. To make storytime programming easier for all involved, we use storyboxes. My library system has one central location and 9 branches.
