I was hoping to have a holiday feltboard to post today, along with this giveaway. Unfortunately, I spent a good portion of Thanksgiving in the ER partially unconscious because I'd been too busy with life to take the time to find out why I hadn't felt good in a week, then my body gave me…
I have a sweet tooth..even when it comes to felt. ;) During yesterday’s nap time… I was busy finishing up some sweet treats for my sophie! I made some Felt Cupcakes for her Felt Board! 6 little cupcakes with 6 different frostings to mix and match.. Yesterday I ordered a couple cupcakes from Sophie’s bakery and they were delish… I got to choose my own frosting choices and everything.. ;) I’m thinking of adding these to my Etsy Shop.. e-mail me if you’re interested! My sophie loved them so much and I enjoyed hand stitching them up during nap.. something way more fun to do than dishes. ;) I’ll be posting more on the girls’ felt board later this week. I PROMISE! I got a comment yesterday saying it had been 21 days since the felt board sneak peek post..haha. I have finished up some more felt additions since then.. so I just need to snap some shots and then I’ll post! you are gonna flip..cuteness overload.

This felt board was so easy to make (and cheap too!). I bought a yard of blue felt at a fabric store for $2.99 and a sheet of blue foam board at Wal-Mart for a little over $2. The project only cost about $6, and it could even be done for less. I really only…

Felt boards are great learning tools with many benefits for children - this easy to follow tutorial will show you step by step how to make a DIY felt board.
I love felt crafts! Our smaller felt board has been one of my favorite DIY’s for the kids! Every time I shared pictures of it, people commented on how they were wanting to make one. So I thought I would put together a Large Felt Board Tutorial so you can see how easy and doable this project really is! The best part of this project is that it’s both art and fun for the kids’ room! If you’ve been thinking about making one… go for it! If you have a sewing machine you can easily sew the blue and green felt together, or to make this project EVEN easier, just do green! You need three things to get started: Canvas, Felt and a staple gun! Try to grab your canvas when it’s on sale or with a coupon. The Craft stores I shop at always have them. I got this one at Michael’s for 40 percent off and then 25 percent off my total order! So plan ahead and grab those canvases if you have this project in mind. FELT BOARD SUPPLIES: Canvas You can use any size you want! Just make sure to get enough felt to cover and wrap …
I’ve always wanted a felt board, but didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg buying one! Of course, I turned to the most obvious source for some inspiration…
Felt boards are such a fun, interactive, and SCREEN FREE activity for children of all ages. Felt naturally sticks to felt, so you can use this board for so many activities. One year olds may just like to stick felt pieces to it, while 2, 3, 4, 5, 6+ year olds can create imaginative stories, play learning games, or ju

How cute is this felt farm?! Giovanni LOVES animals, so I figured he would love this activity. Turns out he just loves making each animal sound as he pulls it off the board & throws it onto the floor… haha. He does love the tractor but he’s not quite in that “imaginative stage” yet where he’s making the animals interact with each other. We’ll get there & I’m sure he’ll love it then! I have a ton of felt & all the other supplies so this project cost me nothing except for my time! *Update: I obviously added blue & green to my board so it wasn’t just plain white. I used fleece & it was only $2.99/yard on sale from $9.99, & the smaller felt sheets are on sale 4/$1, so if you go soon you can get this deal too! I got a yard of blue & a yard of green. I have more plans for the green :)* I made the felt board using: Cardboard Spray adhesive Felt (you can buy it by the yard at Joann’s since you’ll need a big piece for the board) Hot glue Metal hanging brackets What I did: Cut out the size cardboard you want– mine is about 24″x 20″. Cut out your felt a little bit bigger so you have some overhang on the back to glue down. Use spray adhesive to glue the felt on the front of your board, then hot glue it on the back. Nothin’ fancy here, folks. I actually made some updates to my board & recovered it in light blue to be the sky, which you’ll see in the finished product below. Glue on brackets on either side of the board so you can hang it. I’ve also seen where people use spray adhesive right on the wall to hold up the felt– I didn’t want something that permanent in case we decided to paint the room & I was afraid to damage the wall if I tried to take if off. I can’t take credit for these adorable animals, but I wish I could.. They’re so cute!! I found the printable online from a blog called “A Little Bit of Everything…” & you can find her original post here. On her blog it says she’s adding a second animals page as well as a safari animals page but she posted this over a year ago & I still couldn’t find the others. Bummer, I want more! Haha. I used the legs/body template to make a turtle & I just made my own head. I think I might make a horse as well, this farm needs a horse! I found the tractor, hay & barn clipart online & put it onto a single sheet for you to print. You’re welcome :) Elle’s blog says to print it out on thin paper but I used thin & cardstock… cardstock was definitely easier for me to cut out!! & one tip on cutting the felt: roughly cut out the template, pin it onto your felt piece & cut the template out along with the felt. I spent so much time cutting each thing out perfectly, tracing, then cutting again when I could’ve just pinned them together & done it in one step. So much faster! This is how ours came out, I think they’re just adorable!! I added the green for grass– I wanted it removable because I’m planning on doing an underwater scene, but you can always glue yours down! I also added an apple tree, some clouds & a sun, all of which I just free-handed. I’m planning on making more felt “scenes” in the future when Gio likes to actually play with the pieces, haha. I hope you enjoyed this post & as always– share your photos with me if you make it, I love seeing them!! Thanks for stopping by :)
