Lady Bug Felt Counters

Posted in counting,felt,math,number recognition | | by

WARNING: I am officially on a huge felt kick. I now have my 1980s felt board I made by hot gluing felt to cardboard, and a whole bunch of felt ready to be made into fun projects!

I made these really easy ladybugs for practicing number recognition and counting.

Bad idea to take a picture of them on a black table :(

I tried to lighten the pictures the best I could.

Cut out a red oval and black semi-circle head.

Use puffy paint to make the #, and tacky glue to stick the head onto the body.

(Do you remember the glow-in-the-dark puffy paint back in the early 90s?

That stuff was the best!)

I made 6 ladybugs for now..

I am really excited to make more felt activities, stories, and crafts,
so stay tuned for the fun felt frenzy!

How to make a felt doll

Posted in felt,felt doll | | by

Materials needed to make a simple felt doll:

*felt
*needle
*felt scrapes or other stuffing material
*embroidery thread

1.) Decide on how big you would like the doll.

2.) Make your pattern

3.) Cut out the pieces on your chosen color of felt.

4.) Begin stitching. (I Started with the left arm).

5.) When you are finished with the arms and head then begin to stuff. For my stuffing material I used an old white cloth diaper and the felt scrapes left over from

cutting the doll out.
