Flannel: Five Birthday Candles

My library is on a few weeks storytime hiatus, but we start up again the week of my birthday! I’m going to tell the rhyme “Five Birthday Candles” using this felt birthday cake! The candles aren’t attached so I can take one off each time we blow one out.

Five Birthday Candles

Five birthday candles
Wish there were more
Blow one out
Then there are four

Four birthday candles
Pretty as can be
Blow one out
Then there are three

Three birthday candles
Mother bought them new
Blow one out
Then there are two

Two birthday candles
Birthday cakes are fun
Blow one out
Then there was one

One birthday candle
A birthday wish is fun
Blow it out
Then there are none
