I changed up a normal flannel from Little Cat, Little Cat to Little Fox, Little Fox.  I saw this

flannel on a few different blogs and made it my own by using images from Clker.com and added Little Fox instead of Little Cat.  The kids took turns guessing where Miss Madelyn hid and others kids who hid Little Fox.  We would say, ‘Little Fox, Little Fox, are you under the Construction Hat?’
