Have your children ever BEGGED you to read a story only for them to get bored before you finished? My children have done that to me. If they've read it before, their attention span wanders. Well, through my Etsy browsing I came across an amazingly innovative Boutique called Glitterful Felt Stories.
The owner of the Boutique, Shelby, describes her products as an Interactive Introduction to Literacy. These stories make story fun, exciting and interactive for young children. It can also help children with ADD, ADHD and Autism enjoy story time! Your children can help interact with story time....encouraging a life long love for reading!!
I had the pleasure of reviewing one of her felt board stories:
I can tell you that my children have heard this story a gazillion times, but never have I had a visual for my kids to see. You should have heard the laughs and amazement from them, almost as if it was their first time to hear the story!
Glitterful Story pieces are made using the highest quality of felt & they are all decorated using glitter fabric glue & goggle eyes! There are over 100 stories available and more new designs coming soon! The great thing about this Boutique is if you are looking for a particular story you can contact Shelby and she will try her best to make it available for you.
Bottom Line:
Quality: These pieces are high quality felt, fabric glue has withstood my kids rough handling and the goggle eyes are well attached.
Price: The stories themselves range from 4.50-12.00, while the boards themselves range from 14.99-19.99. As soon as you purchase the felt board itself, the stories are super affordable!
Functionality: I can't say enough about these felt stories as a resource to foster a love of literacy with your children. Engaging, Colorful, and fun your kids will be saying, "Just ONE more time, Mom!"
So, now that you know more about Glitterful Felt Stories, don't you want to try them?! The Glitterful Felt Stories Boutique has generously offered a couple of story sets to my readers. There will be TWO winners chosen and each will receive one felt board along with two story sets of their choice.

I love flannel boards! I was just talking to a friend about how sad it is that they aren't around anymore...
That said, I'd choose "Inside a Barn" and "Mouse Count" because my son loves animals and has an imginary mouse he talks to.
Thanks:)
These really are darling and she is very talented. I love the halloween ones..i think its fun to teach about holidays and really have fun around those times. I also think the barnyard set would bring on a ton of stories w/ animal sounds.
What a fun site!!

My son loves the book "Freight Train" so I'd have to choose that one. But from there, I can't choose: Old Lady who swallowed a fly? Goldilocks? 5 Green and Speckled Frogs? So many of them are SO cute!
This is a great contest, I remember those boards from a long time ago, but I can't put my finger on it!
My favorites have to be the Halloween one. I can already tell though that my son would love the barnyard one!
I submitted your contest at

Please encourage your readers to vote for it. I'd also love to put it on our blog.
Thanks
Love them! Our favorites would have to be "An Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly" and "Ten Apples Up On Top." Both of the stories are so catchy, my son just loves them. These felt boards look like a great way to make the story more hands on.
Thanks for the giveaway!

These are really cute. I would choose the Old MacDonald set because our library uses a similar one for storytime and my daughter LOVES it and the Five Little Ducks one because that is the theme we have in my son's nursery.
ldsmom2201 at yahoo dot com
I love that these are so creative and relatively inexpensive. I like the Old Macdonald song set.
Hmmm, I think I'd go with "Go Away Big Green Monster" and "The Crayon Box that Talked". The crayon one could teach colors and counting. And the monster one is just cute.
I'd get INSIDE A BARN IN THE COUNTRY b/c the story sounds so fun and either CAPS FOR SALE or CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM b/c we love those books!
wow how cute and well any one will do for me there realy sweet thanks
A brown bear. That looks so cute.
Caps for sale. We have that book. It would be awesome to act out as we were reading it.
A OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A FLY just because I remember reading the over and over to my kids and them loving it! would love to give to my daughter for my grandaughter! Thanks!

My two favorite stories are the chica chica 123 & the chicka chicka boom boom. I think they would be very educational.

My daughter would go crazy for A Color of his Own Flannel Board Felt Board Story & then Goldilocks!
What a fun idea! My son would love the barn and the chicka chick boom one! Thanks for the contest! I didnt see the train one, but Im sure he would love hat too :O)
too many to choose from, but i like the old lady who swallowed a fly, chicka chicka boom boom, and goldilocks and the three bears. I think the kids will love this
verypissedoff at verizon dot net
A HUNGRY CATERPILLAR, I know it is not available yet but my girls love this story. They act it out all the time and would adore this felt story. They also really like the GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS story. They like to pretend they are goldilocks when we have oatmeal for breakfast. CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM Childrens Felt Board Story would be our pick if the caterpillar one was not available. We have loved this story for years
of course we would want the "Caps for Sale". I read that book over and over as a child myself and would love for my son to have the same reading experience.
I think this is such a great concept! I love goldilocks and the 3 bears - this is a classic. This story if very special to me - listening to it during my childhood from someone special. Another one is the itsy bitsy spider - an easy one for kids to learn! Thanks for the chance to win this for my daughter!

I loved these when I was a child. Of course, these are certainly a notch above what we had!
I like An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly ( what a classic!) and Brown Bear.
Felt boards just add such a dimension to story time!
What a great idea for a giveaway and what a generous one it is! Thank you!
and I've added you to my blogroll!
I posted about your giveaway this morning.
These are so cool! My favorites are The Old Lady Who Swallowed the Fly and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
Oh, what a great idea! I would love to win "A Brown Bear" for my daughter who loves that story and "The Crayon Box That Talked" for my students at school. Thanks for the chance! m_huston(at)hotmail(dot)com

onlycancan at hotmail dot com
I love the Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly because my children love that book! I also like the Freight Train book because my boys love anything with trains!
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is such a fun story to read, I think it would be even more entertaining for my daughter if she could play with the letters at the same time.
I think she'd also enjoy the Noah's Ark story.

Chicka Chicks Boom Boom is a favorite for us and I also liked the Caps for Sale set. Great products!

I think the Goldilocks And The Three Bears and the Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly sets are the best ones...two of the best known stories, and I have no doubt they will be a big hit with my niece and nephew ;)
ladyblue1112000[at]yahoo.com
I like the Chicka Chicka 123 Flannel Board Story and the Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly set.
Two fave stories are Chicka Chicka 1 2 3, and Chicka Chicka boom boom because my son needs to learn his numbers and letters, although a color of his own is my personal favorite as a great story to teach kids.
tvollowitz at aol dot com
The Kissing Hand and Fun with Numbers are my two favorites. My daughter-in-law has a four year old and a two year old and she owns and operates a PreSchool, so the felt board and book with felt images could also be used in her teacher's classes. I think these felt board games are terrific learning tools and I'd love to win one, or two, LOL
maggie@mannwieler.com
CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM Children's Felt Board Flannel Board Story Set & Inside a Barn in the Country Children's Felt Board Flannel Board Story Set :)
The Halloween ones.
I like the Chicka Chick Boom Boom set and the Crayon box that talked set.
My little one loves to count. I think that he'd really get into the Mouse count felt book and the 3 little bears sounds like a story he would enjoy. He's just getting started into books with plot, so I think the felt boards would definitely be an encouragement to read. Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite ones would be Goldilocks and the three Bears and Rainbow Fish because they are two stories that my daughter really enjoys and she would have fun doing the felt stories.

I love Caps for Sale and Old Lady Who Swallowed A fly because they remind me of the felt boards my favorite grade school teacher used.
I would pick Freight Train and Inside a Barn in the Country. My son loves trains and animals. He would love both of these. They would be so nice to take to church or when he has to go to the dr. It's hard to find quiet toys that will hold their attention.
My two favorite are A Old Lady Who Swallowed A Bat (for our Halloween crazy family!) and Go Away Big Green Monster (because that one simply looks FUN!)
(my email's on my blog profile page)
I liked the Noah's Ark felt set.
bloggerprofilepage@michmedia.com
I like The Lady Who Swallowed A Fly because I remember that from when I was a kid and I also like The Kissing Hand because it was my son's favorite in Preschool (now he's in 1st grade but he will still love it). These will be good for my 3 yr. old daughter.
We would pick Chicka Chicka Boom Boom because it is one of our favorite stories. We would also pick Goldilocks and The Three Bears because we love to make different voices when we read this story together. aewalls425@hotmail.com
I would choose Goldilocks and the Bears and the Kissing Hand because my daughter and I love these 2 stories, in fact, The Kissing Hand is part of our bedtime ritual!
The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly set and the Goldiclocks and the 3 bears set. Thanks so much!

Freight Train, which is one of my son's favorite books and Caps for Sale because those naughty monkeys always make me laugh.
An old lady who swallowed a fly because my youngest daughter and I loved to read that together. And Chicka Chicka Boom Boom because I used to be a GS leader and the girls and I had fun reading it together.

Oh I love inside a barn and 5 hotdogs!
Wow! This reminds me of 1st grade! I would love to share these with my kids.
My favorites were Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Brown Bear. I read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom to my kids all the time. Brown Bear looks really cute.
I am a kindergarten teacher, so I would love these for my own kids, as well as the kids in my classroom! I use Inside a Barn in the Country, and Mrs. Wishy Washy every year, as part of larger units, and would love to have these to accompany my teaching. Thank you!
I'll say Goldilocks and the 3 Bears because it is classic, but my very favorite is Caps for Sale because I can totally remember Captain Kangaroo reading us that book on his show when I was a little kid, which has been a very long time ago!!

Inside a Barn in the Country Felt Board Story Set is my pick as well as The Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly. I like the animals in the barn for teaching children about animals and our responsibility to them. And I love the silliness of the lady who swallowed the fly story.
Thanks for the giveaway.

My two favorite are
CAPS FOR SALE Flannnel Board Felt Story, and the CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM Felt Board Story Set! I like both of them because I work with students who speak over 22 languages (other than English) and they are unfamiliar with the stories that native English speakers know. This would be nice to have in a center where the students could retell the story themselves to each other. Thanks for this opportunity!
Chicka Chicka Boom and Freight Train, I like Chicka because it has to do with letters and freight trains because all kids love trains!!
Rainbow FIsh and Brown Bear...these are two of my kids favorite books!
2 favs:
Chicka chicka boom boom, love the story, rhythm and rhyme
Inside a barn in the country, with its repetition is perfect for flannelboard,
thanks for contest
I heart inside a barn and 5 hotdogs!
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Goldilocks and the Three Bears
