ok this should probley be hooked to some thread on kids trip activites but... Each week I post a project of my own design on my blog. this one was one that I wanted to share with you guys.
I would personally use a peice of thin wood for it if i were going to use it more than once. The felt will peel off if you pull so you could take it off the cardboard and reuse it. If you cut it right it will fit in a backpack for a flight. Hope this helps someone:
Project: Felt board
Total cost: Under 10 dollars depending on what suplies you use.
Time: About 10 minutes to make the board, 30 or so to make cut-outs
Tips-
- go here http://images.search.yahoo.com/sear...a=disney+coloring+pages&fr=slv8-msgr&ei=UTF-8 and have your kids color there favorites for the board.
- let bigger kids help cut the charcters out
Suplies:
Cardboard or peice of wood
Felt (twice the size of cardboard or wood)
Spray tack (about $3 a can at wal-mart)
Sticker/ cut- outs or folders (these are the charcters for your flannel board)
Tagboard/cardstock/Index cards (if using stickers or cutouts)
Elmers glue
Contact paper (Walmart (school suplies or by shelf liners)
Felt or Velcro scraps.
Plastic bag
1. Trim cardboard to desired size
2. Trim felt to be the size of the board doubled ( so you can cover the board front and back.
3. Spray the cardboard with spray tack
4. Put the felt on, lining up the edges. Cover the front and back
5. Stick stickers onto cardstock or index cards
6. Trim around stickers and folder charchters
7. Peel off a chuck of contact paper
8. Put stickers and/or folder images on the cotact paper.
9. Press out any bubles
10. Take a second peice of contact paper and press it on the uncovered side of the folder or stickers.
11. Press them together. This will lamanate them.
12. Cut around the peices.
13. Glue felt to the back (or velcro).
14. Find a plastic or cloth bag to keep your peices in.
