I love felt! I have been meaning to make a full on felt board for activities, but haven't gotten around to getting a large piece of felt to make one with. I do however have lots of felt pieces. They are about $0.20 each sheet in the craft store so it is the perfect material to use for crafts!
Bug has been whiny in the car lately so I decided to make her a felt face board to entertain her in the car or if we are out. It's even great for sitting at the table and playing while I cook dinner. Here's how I did it:
 |
| I freehand drew a face and ears & cut it out. {fabric scissors work best on felt} |
 |
| I then hot glued it to another piece of felt. |
 |
| Added some googly eyes {but you can make some felt eyes} and a nose. |
 |
| Go to town and make some funny mouths, hair shapes, mustaches, eyebrows...etc. |
 |
| My hubby had one of these clip board things that he didn't need anymore so I took it and thought it would be great to clip the face board on and keep the pieces inside for travel & to keep in the car all together. |
Have fun and make some faces...
...then let your kiddo play with it.
Such a great idea.....thanks for sharing. My 21 month old gets antsy in the car, he can unbuckle his carseat and then gets pissed when I make it super tight so maybe this will distract him a little;)
ReplyDeleteThat was my hope too! Bug gets super antsy in the car and attempts to get her car seat unbuckled...but she hasn't figured it out. This has been a good distraction so far! :)
