Crankies are a traditional storytelling device that have been around for hundreds of years. Today we’re going to use a crankie to tell the story of the Farmer and the Dell! Follow the instructions on the print out to make your very own matchbox crankie, and sing along as you play! Make sure you have downloaded the song card for the Farmer in the Dell by clicking here
This printout also includes a blank template, so you can create your very own crankie story.
These instructions are based off a tutorial by Sue Truman, a crankie historian and a true artist. Her work can be found on TikTok @suetruman411 on instagram @suetruman1015 and at her website https://www.thecrankiefactory.com
