Make Your Own Felt Board
All my kids have loved felt boards and I have made them for all of them over the years. Now Willow has one. Well actually she has 2 because when the big kids heard she was getting one, they all wanted to know if they were allowed to play with it, even my 15 year old. As much as that warms my heart, it also equals fighting at times. So, I happily made one on the wall and one on a cork board.
They couldn’t be easier to make. I almost always have felt in the house.
Cut a large piece. This piece was for the wall.
And then I tacked it to the wall or you can staple it if you prefer. If you do not want one on the wall and prefer a mobile one, you can use an old cork board or wood piece.
Lay the corkboard on the felt and then wrap the felt around it.
Then use hot glue or I prefer a staple gun.
Then it sticks on to the felt board.
And she plays away.

Awesome idea. This would keep a child occupied for a while.

I haven’t thought about these in years – I used to use these when I was a wee little girl scout 🙂 Thanks for the reminder – I’ll have to make these soon for my little girl – so fun!

Love this idea! Just wondering if you have to use a stronger, more rigid felt for the backing? I have the really soft felt and they don’t stick we’ll together…

The felt I used for the back was the kind you can buy in the long sheets by the yard. It is pretty rigid. That might be a difference.
