SUBMISSSION #1

STEP 1

USE AN OLD CORK BOARD. COVERING  IT COMPLETELY WITH A COLORFUL FLEECE MATERIAL OF YOUR CHOICE

STEP 2

OUR FELT BOARD

FIND AN EASY TEMPLATE COLORING PAGE, CHOOSE DIFFERENT COLORED FELTS AND PUFFY PAINTS TO DECORATE THE CHARACTERS TO YOUR LIKING

FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS TO THE RIGHT TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE SUCH AN EASY PROJECT THAT CHILDREN CAN USE FOR HOURS ON END. OUR CHILDREN HAVE TAKEN THE CHARACTERS WE HAVE CREATED AND MADE A "STORY TIME" WITH THEM. ALL THE CHILDREN TAKE TURNS USING THE CHARACTERS DESIGNED...AND MAKE UP THEIR OWN STORY TO TELL THE REST OF THE CLASS...IT IS A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO OUR FACILITY AND I'M SURE YOUR CHILDREN WILL THRIVE WITH THIS IDEA AS WELL!

STEP 3

CUT OUT COLORING PAGE AND RE-CUT THE TEMPLATE WITH YOUR DESIRED FELT COLORS

EXAMPLES OF THE CHARACTERS WE MADE
