DIY Felt Story Board

Rebekah · February 5, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Today’s post features this super cute felt story board that I created with some really simple {and cheap!} materials in an effort to save my son and myself from mind-numbing winter boredom. YUP, it’s that time of year again…February. Is it just me, or are February and March the LONGEST months of the year? Aside from absolutely sweltering August, that is. Not to be a weather curmudgeon, but these outdoor-unfriendly days can be excruciatingly long when you are in the house all day with a {cranky, teething} toddler. So the other day I took a trip to ye old AC Moore, picked up some supplies {I think this  project cost me about $15 total} and decided to make this adorable felt story board. felt board 1 felt board 2 felt board 3 felt board 4 To get play started I placed some of the felt shapes on the board and some on the ground in front of the board. I also gathered a few animals and some story books that had photos of nature, which matched the board’s theme. felt board 5 These boards, as well as the type of play, can be adjusted as kids get older and can ‘act out’ more advanced stories. In the beginning, having small children act out the story in a book with these physical objects is a great way to get started. Then, when they are a bit older, have them make up their own stories, or even create a storyline that  alternates between yourself and the child, or whoever else they are playing with. So the next time you think you are going to pull all of your hair out because you cannot think of one more activity to do on these super long winter days, don’t do it! Keep your beautiful hair and make this fun felt story board instead. signature for mommy brainer page P.S. Sorry for the few typos on the instruction boards. These boards where created for you by a woman with a toddler attached to her leg. Sometimes multi-tasking isn’t all it’s cracked up to be 😛
