We have a big felt board that covers the back of our piano. There has not been much interest in playing at the felt board lately, so I decided to pull out my felt stash and make some new spring inspiration. So far, I have cut out flowers, stems, grass, flower pots, soil, seeds, clouds, sun, and ladybugs. The girls have also requested some trees and butterflies. It was quite a hit with the girls, and I loved hearing them tell stories in their little voices while they arranged the felt pieces: “Once upon a time, there was a tiny seed. And out of that tiny seed popped a tiny stem. And from that stem popped a tiny flower that grew and grew…”
The felt board is back in business! Happy Playing!

Looks great! I’m planning on making a felt board soon. What kind of felt did you use?
Thanks Melissa! It’s just inexpensive craft felt, off the bolt for the board. Have fun!
I love the idea of felt boards, but always get frustrated when I attempt them. I use Elmer’s glue, and the felt pieces just fall apart in my hands. Have you found a glue that works well?
Hi Amanda! I didn’t use any glue on this felt board, since the girls were just rearranging the pieces to make scenes. When I do need to glue felt, I either use Fabri-Tac fabric glue or Beacon’s Felt Glue. I’ve used hot glue, too… Hope that helps!
