Felt Board for All Ages

There are many ways to teach and present to children.  One, low-cost, idea that I found is by using a felt board.  And not just any felt board, but one that is homemade.  Follow the link to Martha Stewart's website, as she teaches step-by-step on how to make your child's very own felt board.  Also, there are some great ideas of how to make the different objects and shapes to place on the felt board.

With this felt board, help your child to learn the alphabet, identify specific animals, play simple games, be familiar with different colors, learn foods, copy family members pictures onto pieces of felt to learn names, and so much more can be used with this felt board.  Place it in the family room or child's room, somewhere they have access to it.  Enjoy!
