I love making simple toys for my own kids or as gifts for others. And one of my favorite materials to use is felt! It seems like the possibilities of what you can do with felt are endless, and the best part is it’s so easy to work with. You can cut it without worrying about fraying ends, you can sew it by hand, or even just glue it. And it comes in tons of colors! Now I have to admit I’m partial to 100% wool felt (which I always order from Felt on the Fly). Once you’ve worked with pure wool felt, it’s hard to give it up. It just feels so nice and the colors are so vibrant! But any kind of felt will work! I used wool felt to make my felt stuffed toy letters which have lasted us years. This project is SO easy. The hardest part for me was really just deciding what colors to use. I loved that I was able to work on these letters whenever I had a bit of spare time. I’d sit down by the kids while they were playing and just starting sewing. It was quite relaxing actually. And I also had so much fun making our felt story boards and story pieces. This project was especially fun since Lucy was able to help! I love that felt boards incorporate play with learning and literacy too! Apparently I’m not the only felt lover out there.
