5 out of 5 starsI am a storyteller who is currently telling stories about the Queen of Hearts and the cats who live with her in the kingdom. These flannel board cats are large and lovely - perfect for a class of children. Thanks!

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely LOVE the flannel pieces from Flannel Board Fun! They stick to my flannel board and are very well made - very sturdy! I also like the size of the pieces! My little two/three year old friends use them freely on the flannel board and have so much fun! I overhear them using their emerging oral language skills to sing or say the story! I consider these from this shop to be a great investment.

About FlannelBoardFun
Flannel Board Fun: Screen-free, play-based learning toys!
Hello there! I’m so excited that you’ve found Flannel Board Fun, my little neck of the Etsy internet woods. I hope you love screen free, open-ended, meaningful play experiences for little kids–all wrapped up in soft, colorful felt–because that’s what I’m all about!
**(You can visit my website at https://flannelboardfun.com/ for even more goodies and information--and watch me sing my heart out using my felt sets at http://bit.ly/FlannelBoardFunYouTube )***
You’re busy with your little tiddly winks–and you want to keep them happily playing and learning. It’s not so easy to find toys that are high-quality and fun to use; that provide valuable learning opportunities and don’t rely on batteries or screens. Plus, let’s be honest–sometimes you just need something that will keep your wee dumplings playing safely and independently so you can get. stuff. done. Look no further! Each set in my collection provides long-lasting, meaningful play time to your little love bugs. Combined with my Travel Mat, this type of play can happen not only at home but also on a plane, in a restaurant, or anywhere on the go that involves long wait times. You’re welcome.
As a preschool teacher for 25 years, I’ve put my love of children and my knowledge of child development into every flannel board set I’ve created, so you can be sure you’re getting the perfect combination of fun and fundamentals! What could be better than engaging and fun hands-on activities that promote imagination, early literacy, fine motor, and math skills? And wait–all through play!? Yep. The icing on the cupcake: each set includes a list of teacher-recommended books to go along with the theme, as well as lyrics to related rhymes, poems and songs–perfect to expand on the learning that occurs naturally as children play.
Take a look around. I’m confident you’ll find something soft, colorful, and carefully crafted that is just perfect for your little tootsie pants!
My story:
For 23 years I used flannel board stories, songs, rhymes and games in my preschool classroom and saw the amazing social and learning benefits first hand. As I used the sets to tell stories to a group, the children could barely (and often didn't!) stop themselves from jumping up to sweep the pieces off the board--so I began to make sets for the them to use independently.
In 2015 I started blogging about my sets for teachers and children (www.FlannelBoardFun.blogspot.com), and soon after that I started selling them on Etsy. FlannelBoardFun is now my full time job, and I couldn't be happier spending my days designing and creating beautiful and valuable toys for children (as well as a select set for teachers and librarians), who have been my inspiration for so many years.
I use a combination of spring-loaded scissors and various cutting machines to achieve my lovely, crisply cut designs. I use Wool Blend felt because it's gorgeous and soft, and children are drawn to the vibrant colors and fuzzy feel. I've been motivated by the interests of my students over the years, and my classroom has been my 'test kitchen'! I've seen what works and what doesn't work first hand, and I fine tune my sets accordingly.
Being a teacher was my first love, and I want to support preschool teachers and children's librarians in their use of flannel board stories with children. I have a small collection of these in my shop as well, based on my favorites over the years. Children can use these, too, of course.
Thank you so much for visiting my shop--enjoy!

Why are felt board sets valuable?
I have used felt board sets in my preschool classrooms for many years. Children love handling these soft, colorful pieces and creating their own stories or reenacting stories, songs and poems they've been told. Teachers and librarians with a big stash of felt board pieces to use during group times can always grab and hold their audience's attention! Visual and Kinesthetic learners in particular benefit, but all children are affected in positive ways.
As children play with these pieces alone or with you, their imagination and story-telling skills are enhanced. Sorting by color, shape and/or type occur naturally. Vocabulary is increased. Fine motor skills develop. Fun happens!
Who should I buy a felt set for?
These sets make great gifts for children (over the age of around 2 1/2), teachers of young children, and librarians. Also consider them for speech and occupational therapists, as well as for seniors in assisted care settings!
**Felt is not considered a choking hazard by the US CPSC, but supervision is required if children under 3 are using my sets.
