The Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly
Children love the fun and repetition of feeding this little woman her unusual dinner! Set includes text of the song/poem, this 15" x 18" unmounted background which can be hung so her mouth opens as a pocket to catch her meals. 7 double sided figures of the animals are included as well as 1 extra set each of the fly, spider, and bird, in a larger size for working with children under 3. Assembly involves cutting the lady background, as well as her mouth, gluing a felt pocket to the back, and cutting and gluing the double-sided animal figures, unless ordering pre-cut. This set is great for teaching the Food Chain as well as Nutrition. It can also be combined with our Food Group set for nutrition lessons and our Wild Animals set for creating new verses.

This set does not include a felt board but works great with a plain board or with the Indoor background from the Cottage Classics set, or the Outdoor background from the Grandma's Favorites felt board set.
