At the story time lately, Judah along with the other kids enjoys it when the librarian uses the felt board for stories. Whatever story she is reading comes to life with felt pieces that she sticks to the board. Almost every time, some child goes up to play with the pieces, taking them off and re sticking them back to the board.
Last fall I bought Judah a small travel felt board with basic learning pieces. I could not find an magnet alphabet set appropriate for his age group and so purchased this instead at a craft show. Even though I thought he was too young, I gave it to him for Christmas. Great Grandma was kind to even cut out all the alphabet letters, numbers, and counting pieces.
And if I had any doubt to him being too young, I needn't worry. He has played with his felt board when traveling, on rainy days, and for some puzzle practice. I am really pleased with how much learning and entertainment it has provided.
Some days we stick on the pieces for fun. Other days we count, practice our colors, and sing the alphabet. And we can do this with a little traveling felt board case.
So if you are looking for a new educational but fun technique to use to tell stories, visit the zoo or farm, and even make paper dolls, check out Felt Fantasies, a family company that specializes in this fabric learning tool and accessories.
