How to Make a Simple Felt Board for Travel or Quiet Time

MATERIALS:

• One sheet of felt – make sure it’s the regular kind, not the stiff type. You want to choose a color that is different from the color of the shapes you intend to use with the board. Craft felt works fine for this activity.
• File folder
• Glue stick

STEPS:

1. Trim the felt to fit inside the file folder
2. Cover the back of the felt with glue using the glue stick. If you’re using liquid glue, spread it very thinly – otherwise it will soak through the felt and make it so that felt shapes don’t stick as well
3. attach felt to inside of file folder
4. Enjoy :)
