Let's create with Felties!

Felties Compendium Travel Set contains over 300 pre-cut shapes of felt in an assortment of colours.  Googly eyes are included too! The travel set has a neat sturdy case that folds up to store these shapes, perfect as the name suggests for taking with you.  A great size to pop into a handbag or therapy bag.

Kids will love making pictures with these felt pieces!  They may copy a small booklet of designs or make up their own. The case is long enough for 2 children to play with this together. There are certainly enough shapes to be shared.  Put away the scissors as you will not need to cut out any extra shapes!

This is a great therapy tool to take along to therapy sessions.  The Felties Compendium Travel Set  allows you to work on colour, shapes and visual-motor skills.  Can your child copy a pattern?  Can they identify a sequence to complete the picture?  Can they scan the vast number of shapes to find the ones needed?  Can they colour match? Can they use directional language (eg. next to, in front, behind, on top, below, etc)?

The Felties Compendium Travel Set may also be used for story telling and pretend play.  A scene may be built with characters introduced and objects made as a story unfolds.

Whilst Mr 4 and Miss 7 enjoy playing with this at home, I have added it to my therapy bag.  It is compact and there is such a range of skills that can be worked on using these shapes!

The Felties Compendium Travel Set is available from Finlee and Me in a choice of 2 colours.

Have your kids played with felt shapes before?
