DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Felt Board Printables
Can also be used as coloring pages or puppets
A note from Leanne:
I have listed the projects on this page that I made specifically for felt
boards. However, the vast majority of the coloring
pages on the site are stand alone images that can be colored, cut out and
used for the felt board. In particular, I've received positive comments
about the Simple
Characters and Shapes pages (it includes apples, autumn leaves,
snowflakes, triangles, circles, squares, sun, star, etc) so please take a minute
to check them out too.
Also, many of the paper
crafts on the site make great felt board templates. The kids get a
real kick out of seeing their art projects on the felt board.
To make a paper sheet into a felt
board character, cut out a small piece of felt or coarse sandpaper and tape or glue it on the
back of each character. The sandpaper or felt will allow the characters to
stick on your felt board. You can also laminate or cover
with clear contact paper to make it longer lasting.
A suggestion from a viewer:
"Instead of using a flannel board I use a cookie sheet, I first laminate all the pieces then put magnets on the backs I find this work better for little children. They are able to get the stories out and keep up with the pieces."
Thanks for sharing your idea Sharon!
A suggestion from a viewer:
"Instead of putting sandpaper on the back of templates for felt board stories we have found that milk filters are perfect in making your flannels.
You can find them and your local fleet farm/farm and fleet stores in the farm isle this works great youcan see right through it and it sticks great to a piece of felt."
Thanks for sharing your idea Colleen!
