DIY Felt Boards Build Language Skills

We weren’t thinking about making our own DIY felt boards but sometimes when we are doing one thing the creative juices start flowing! This activity comes to us from a very smart, creative boy. While we were making the felt garlands, he decided that he would rather make a felt board. It just happened to be October so, of course, he chose to make Halloween-inspired figures. So here is our homemade felt board.
