Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.

I’ve been wanting to get around to this and this looks like an easy way to do a felt board…I already have the spot picked out! I do have a question…I’m a felt board newbie…what kind of felt do I need? Obviously a big piece for the background…I’ll buy that by the yard. But, will those small sheets of craft felt work for the shapes, figures, etc.? Or do I need the 100% wool felt by the yard for that too?

Oooh, what room did you put these in? I was lamenting that our kids’ closet doors are a bit beat up in their rooms (older house with abuse from prior residents), but… then the beauty is that we can stick things on the doors and do all sorts of things without worrying about ruining a “nice” door.

As for a trough, like Three Sneaky Bugs mentioned, this made me think of Jim Trelease’s book, The Read Aloud Handbook. He suggests using pieces of rain gutter for book displays, maybe that would work as a wall mounted storage spot for your materials.

Have fun!

I have been out of town and unable to keep up with your progress on here. How exciting to see the finished product!! Both boards look great! I can’t believe how vibrant the chalk shows up on the chalkboard. I’m thinking we’ll definitely make a chalkboard one of these days.

You are an inspiration in deciding on a project and getting it done. Glad the links helped!
