Whenever we go to story time, they always have a large felt board to help tell the kids a story. I wanted to recreate one of these at home so my kids can use it to learn all about weather, shapes, numbers, and anything I can make with felt. This past fall I made a large tree so we can change the leaves for each season. I also made a Christmas tree the kids could decorate any way they wanted and a large Snowman. Both my 1 year old and 2 year old love playing with it and it’s really easy to make and super affordable. This felt board can be taken up or down depending on what your child wants to do. Rather than buying just a felt board or fixing a piece of felt to the wall, you can use something that is multi-functional like an easel. You can make your own felt pieces or buy pre-made ones from Amazon. You can also find several different felt numbers, letters, money/coins at the Target dollar section as soon as you walk into the store.
