This was our summer project last year, we just set it up again and are planning to continue to add to it this summer. We started out with a few felt fish that we made and added a new fish, plant, or sea animal each week. It was a family project, the kids picked out a fish, my husband or I made the fish out of felt and then we learned a little bit about the fish before we added it to out felt tank. So far, we have a shark, angel fish, parrot fish, octopus, clown fish, lobster, sting ray, blue crab, sea turtle, sea horse, whale, and some others. This was a fun and educational project, my kids are looking forward to adding to it again, as am I. This also goes well with our Under the Water tote that I am putting together for July.
Neat! Felt activities are definitely on my To-Do list for when I have kids.
ReplyDeleteThis came out so cute! I need to make a felt board, yours look so nice :)
ReplyDeleteThe felt board was so easy to make, we made 5 off them total, 3 for Christmas gifts last year. All you need is a cork board or a large picture frame and felt. For my felt board, I picked up a huge cork board for $10 from Wal-Mart. The others I made were smaller and most used things that I already had.
ReplyDeleteI love, love to craft and create with my kiddos. This seems like a very fun activity.
