I start with just the plain kittens on the flannelboard, then when they find their mittens, I put them on their front paws and give them their pie. The pictures below are the kittens, in their mittens, with goo from the pie on them.
Then I take off the mittens, remove the goo from the pie (just little pink blods cut out of felt), and hang them on the line to dry.
I know you can find this rhyme just about anywhere and it may be one of those things that many of us just know, but I found the words very nicely typed out on KIDiddles.com, you have to register for the site, but they have tons of lyrics for all kinds of songs.

Today is definitely a mitten day! Thanks for reminding us of this storytime classic.
I wish I had time to make this for my storytime next Tuesday-- I'm using this song with the hand motions from Kimbo's Nursery Rhyme Time cd, but this flannel would be a great way to teach the rhyme first. BTW...How are the dust bunny tutorials coming along?
Those kittens are very cute, and look great! Thanks for the web recommendation; I'll have to check it out.
I love your idea of having the clothesline to dry their mittens on! Very sweet!
Absolutely adorable little kittens!
How do you do your details on the felt? I tried puffy paint today and I was so frustrated that I left off the smaller details. :-(
The kittens are adorable. The power of Sharpie!?! I like the mittens on the line too! Nice.
sorry - it's been a crazy busy week (felt like Friday since Tuesday) I used a thin sharpie to do the details on the kitten and some colored sharpies for their noses and bows. I cut out the shape of the kittens and then taped the pattern of the kitten to a sunny window so I could trace the details, the kittens aren't actually felt, they are pieces of white flannel. Probably should have included all that in my description :)
Thanks for all these fun story time ideas! I need to work on some of this so I appreciate the resources!
