Do it yourself-Felt activities your child will love

This interactive felt activity board is a great addition to any playroom.  Not only is it great as room decor but it also serves a rewarding purpose- educating your child.  Felt activities are a fun  way to learn colors, shapes, numbers, seasons, sizes, sorting and so much more!  This learn through play method offers a fun approach to mommy & me learning.  After you walk your child through the activity, watch them come back on their own to figure it out over and over again! 

Here the kids learn how to build a flower, match the bird color to the color of eggs in the bird nest, size up the frogs, build an egg and build a bunny.


Here are a few other ideas on how to make learning fun with your child.

Making a felt activity station:

You can buy a frame or use an old one.   I used some old frames to create these adorable felt activity walls for the kids.  Take out the glass, cut a large piece of felt and glue it to the backboard of the frame.  Now you have a fun activity station ready to go for the kids. 

For the felt activities: just pick up some clear contact paper, print out an image you want to create off the web, wrap in clear contact paper and attach velcro (rough side) to the back of the covered image.

I used these images to create a bird and egg color sorting activity
Cover all in clear contact paper and place rough side of velcro on back of each.

Print 3 of these and color the eggs to match the color of the Bird

Used this frog to illustrate sizes. Use your photo enlarging options to create large through small. We used this for our Spring semester

Used this print out to create butterfly color sorting. Cut yellow butterfly in three sections. Same as blue, green and red. mixed all the pieces up onto our felt board and had the kids build the butterflies.

This was my personal favorite for spring. I printed this out larger, cut all the pedals, laminated pieces individually and had the kids build the flower. I created the stem out of green construction paper.

Another personal favorite. The kids really took to this one too. I ended up using colored paper to create the kite. I used this as a template

Here's our bunny

Used this as a counting activity. Printed out a large 7 and seven bee's, laminated, velcro'd and placed together on felt board
