Felt Board for Kids

A felt board can be both a pretty addition to a young child's room and an educational tool. Using felt for both the face of the board and the shapes that adhere to it,you can create an alphabet;use stencils or cookie cutters to trace out shapes or make a simple game tic-tac-toe.

You need

Large picture frame/piece of adhesive felt slightly larger than the frame /cardboard or mat board/kraft paper /packing tape

How to

Remove glass from the frame. Cut a piece of felt that is about 1 1/4 inches larger than the frames on all sides. Cut out the corners so the felt can be folded over the cardboard or mat board without becoming bulky

Tape the felt around the board, and place it into the frame,set side out

Add a second piece of cardboard over the back of the board,and secure it with a sheet of kraft paper and several lengths of packing tape
