Manners Flannel Board Story Freebie

If you're new to Oopsey Daisy, I try to share everything with you.  My journey in creativity goes in many different directions and believe me, it is definitely not a smoothly paved road.  There are plenty of bumps and the occasional bruise along the way!  But my philosophy is why not share the process with you?!  I learn so much from others' amazing talent that I am constantly inspired.  

On Fridays, I try to give back by offering some kind of freebie.  Probably because I am a former first grade teacher, many freebies end up being child-related.  It's been a couple of weeks since I offered a freebie!  Blame it on the summer craziness, I guess!  I genuinely don't create printables simply to create them. Everything I share with you is something I am honestly using in my own home in some way.

Today, I am thinking back to the ongoing list in my head of things I want to be doing.  In this post, I explained my organization for my Family Home Evening files.  I ambitiously set out to create a new "unit" each month.  Admittedly, I have not met my goal and feel a bit guilty about the mess of files, pictures, stories, and games just sitting in my closet!  But I am currently almost done with a unit on Manners.  I stumbled across a flannel board story that I collected in college!  I retyped it, laminated it, and it's ready to go!  Now it is ready to share with you!

In all honesty, I find this story absolutely hilarious!  To sum up, it's the story of Pudgy the Pig, a fat little pig who learns to be polite at mealtimes in the barnyard.  I crack up every time I read it! But it is a great story to teach mealtime manners to our kids in a fun way!

The download includes the story and the visual aids of Farmer Brown and the animals.  Here is a sneak peek of the animals.  Aren't they cute?!  I do love the farm theme!  :)

You can download the entire story and corresponding visual aids here.  

Thanks for making Oopsey Daisy part of your day!
