This project has become more meaningful than I imagined. The kids spend so much time playing with this. Mimi loves to create stories, and then tells us what is going on in her story. Moe likes to do silly things like putting fish in trees. This makes him laugh a lot. I enjoy watching them work on it together.
I have oodles of felt. The board is an old puzzle whose pieces are missing. Simply glue flannel or felt to a board. Then make anything you can imagine out of felt. It was fun to include Mimi and Moe in this process. They had many suggestions. Moe wishes I would make more than one car. Mimi wants more people.
You can illustrate counting and numbers:
I think the possibilities are endless for this thing. I am thinking of ordering the alphabet from here. I think it would be fun to do stories like "I know an old lady who swallowed a fly..." etc.... Also, I suppose you could mount the board onto a wall, but I prefer having it portable.
Go make felt things. It is FUN!
