MINI FELT BOARD

Every parent should make their child a Felt Board. Not only is it a fun way to teach a child about colors and shapes but it is definitely a great time passing activity.  I made two of these for Colton, one large one that i keep at home and this Mini one that i keep in the car for road trips or dining out at a restaurant.  Felt boards teach kid's about creativity.

Here's what you need:
*SHEETS OF FELT (multiple colors and 1 LARGE piece of felt in either white or black for the board)
*CARDBOARD (a sturdy piece for the actual felt board)
*GLUE GUN

To make the felt board you wrap the large piece of felt around the piece of cardboard and glue it with the glue gun.  I suggest using either black or white for the board since most colors will stand out against them.

To make the pieces, i just cut out multiple shapes and sizes of the felt. I bought lots of different colors of felt to make more variety.  The great thing about a felt board is that the felt pieces stick without needing anything.  Like i said before this is a GREAT activity for the car and restaurant.  My son absolutely LOVES this! I think i'm going to add more pieces for him to play with.
