Moon Maiden: Printable Felt Board Images
contributed by Kaitlyn Guenther
Below are some neat ideas for using the characters and objects from the Japanese folktale of the Moon Maiden to create feltboard images to play with.
Here are some ideas for using basic felt board characters:
Use the sheets as... PUPPETS
- Either print the black and white sheet to color
OR - print the color page
- Cut out each image and tape it to a popsicle stick or an unsharpened pencil.
Use the sheets as... FELT BOARD CHARACTERS
- Either print the black and white sheet to color
OR - print the color page
- You can cover with clear contact paper or laminate if you want them to last longer.
- Cut out each character.
- Cut out a small piece of coarse sandpaper and tape or glue it on the back of each character (if you laminated, it will need to be a larger piece of sandpaper). The sandpaper will allow the characters to stick on your felt board.
Templates:
- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
