Here is another project I have done recently that I LOVE!! Tanner loves it too. It gives him a space to practice his letter and numbers, which he loves. Seriously I know it is a little freaky to have a not-even two year old know his alphabet and count up to 12 but the kid just likes it…weird. I have a feeling his interest might go down just a tad. He recently discovered Thomas and Friends and is OBSESSED. Maybe I can make some Thomas Felt shapes…I’ll try. Note: I decided to free hand it but I am sure there are plenty of stencils and silhouettes that can be found online then traced onto felt.
Front :
Back:
1 piece of foam board
1 large piece of black felt
many sheets of multi colored felt
Hot Glue
Clothes pins
baggies
Hours of fun for under $10. I would say this is perfect for 2-5 year olds. Depending on the age of the kids, you can make different cut outs. So far I have just done the letters and the farm. Some ideas I have in the works are: Dinosaurs, Dress the Boy, Food and utensils, Face and parts, Counting sets (ex.1 ball, 2 trees, 3 apples, etc) and Fish/Under the Sea. As I add more, I will just glue more clothes pins on the back to store the sets of felt. Cheap, homemade AND organized!! Love love and LOVE.
Love this idea. Mabye I will try to do something like this over the weekend.
