I was the very lucky winner of the pattern for LiEr of ikat bag’s jam tarts WAY back in October. I made one right away, but put it together wrong side out. Then we were in Vienna, then we had Christmas/New Year, and I finally got around to making the rest this past week. My [...]

The current rage in felt dress-up bear fashions, as determined by Emma. I made this felt dress-up bear for Emma well over a year ago, and it’s one of the most popular toys in the house. Well worth the two or three dollars I’ve spent on felt for the bear, clothing, and [...] Between gorgeous weather and a new baby, crafting has been a bit slow around here lately. I did put together this new geometric shapes template for Emma to use with her felt shapes on her travel felt board this weekend. Go here for other geometric shapes templates, and here to learn how to make a [...] No time for Flash Cards has a very cute hand cut butterfly craft. There’s a great song to go along, as well as a couple of book suggestions. I love the Japanese Cherry Tree craft from this site, too – also with book suggestions to go along! I love these footprint ducklings from Just For Fun [...] 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 STEPS: Trim the felt to fit inside the file folder Here is our latest Geometric Shapes felt board activity.

My plan is to make an entire collection for my daughter (and eventually son and second daughter once she arrives and grows up a little) [...]
Inspired by this post, I made the kids some differently-colored felt hearts of various sizes to play with on their flannel board today. Ironically, they started fighting over the hearts almost immediately. We worked out a compromise, though, and this evening after Mike got home we had a nice talk about love and how [...] This craft was inspired after we made this Cut and Paste Train posted at No Time for Flash Cards. Both kids enjoyed building the train, so I decided to make them felt shapes for a train. Here is the design I created: I always like pictures that are made out of geometric shapes. I love the simplicity as well as the flexibility, and it’s a fun way to talk with young children about different shapes and the way they fit together. This nativity scene was made using five triangles, three circles, two rectangles, one trapezoid, and one [...]
Download the pattern here. Four slices will fill the IKEA play pie pan pictured above. The edge piece may be a bit long, but you can just trim the end if needed. I used double layers of quilt batting – so I cut eight pieces, not 4 like the pattern says. It all depends on [...] |
