Aiken Drum - the ultimate alien! |
This is a revised version originally posted on 27/Jul/2011.
In preparation for an Aliens storytime I put together a non-flannel Flannel Song - Aiken Drum.
This was simply made with laminated clip art pieces. My inspiration was a digital flannel board assignment set by Dr Annette Lamb as part of ALA's Every Child Ready to Read. I have shamelessly copied the flannel ideas, but changed the words of the song to please myself.
As far as I can gather, Aiken was actually a Brownie (not of the cake variety), deeply entrenched in Scottish history/folk lore. Superficially though, the man in the moon has to be the ultimate alien, doesn't he?
