Felt play

I cut several basic shapes out of felt and my kids make pictures with them all the time.  Inexpensive, easy and fun.  If you want a background, use spray adhesive to glue a large piece of felt or flannel to some foamcore or homosote.  Or just thumbtack it to the wall.  Pellon (interfacing) also works, too - and is incredibly inexpensive.  And Pellon can go through your printer!

Next I think I'll make a felt tangram.
