Many months ago, I was trying to figure out what the kids would like for Christmas this year (I like to think ahead, okay? 🙂 We are trying to move away from the typical plastic toys, so I wanted something different and imaginative and I suddenly remembered how much I LOVED felt boards when I was younger! Anyone remember the awesome felt boards of the 80’s? Rock on!
I began the search into how to make one, patterns for shapes, etc and I wasn’t finding much. SO, I have decided to start a Felt Board Series on here! Right here at the Mouse House! During the next few weeks/months, I will show you how to make the felt board and multiple patterns for making felt shapes/people/characters/scenery! I am so excited to share this with you and I hope someone can benefit from this.
In the meantime, I have to share a recent thrift store find. If you know anything about me, you know that I LOVE to shop at thrift stores! In fact, I really need to start sharing more of my random finds 🙂 Anyway, I stumbled across a Felt Board package with tons of Thomas the Engine felt cutouts and Blues Clues cutouts (by the way, the retail value of this has to be well over $50, but I got it for $1.50… no lie!)
I had to laugh when I saw the cutouts.
I will be sure to come back soon with a tutorial on How to Make a Felt Board, followed by LOTS and LOTS of shapes and fun stuff!

Great find! I recently found a pair of Forever 21 jeans for 50 cents.
I’m looking forward to the felt board series, I think my kids would have fun with that too.
I think that dude is Steve. Just guessing by the stripes and the fact Blue is actually there too;)
