Flannel Friday: Chameleon’s Colors

This flannel is based on the book Chameleon’s Colors by Chisato Tashiro, and was a great fit for my jungle storytime.

On a sunny day in the jungle, Chameleon is tired of blending in with the scenery.

When Hippo almost steps on Chameleon, the reluctant color changer says he is sick of always being ignored because no one can see him. But Hippo says he would like to be able to change his color like Chameleon does.

And so begins the jungle version of What Not To Wear as Chameleon gets an idea. He spends the night smooshing flowers to make paint colors.

The next day he calls the animals together

and they all get fancy, with Chameleon painting them in stripes and flowers and bright colors galore.

At first the animals love their new colors, but soon decide that they have been bamboozled  by Chameleon (Lion can’t figure out who to eat, and Snake can’t hide in the grass any longer).  Chameleon has no idea what to do to help the animals un-fancify, but luckily Mother Nature helps him out and things go back to normal in the jungle.

The animals are coloring pages, colored with markers and laminated. They are normal animal colors on one side, and fancy colors on the other side. I just flipped them over when it was time for their makeovers. Oh, and the word chameleon? Sounds much cooler the way I say it in my head.

  3. First of all I want to say fantastic blog!

    I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had a difficult time clearing my thoughts
    in getting my ideas out there. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure
    out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?

    Cheers!

  4. Hey this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know
    if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
