This flannel board came from Melissa at Mel’s Desk. I made mine out of felt instead of using a paper towel tube. As I read through the rhyme I have the kids help pretend to pound the nails into the wood.

Five Little Nails
Five little nails, standing straight and steady
Here I come with my hammer ready!
Bam, bam, bam!
That nail goes down.
Now there’s just four nails to pound.
4…
3…
2…
1…
Now there’s no more nails to pound.
