Felt Boards from Oriental Trading

Dear reader;

If this link works, jump on this! —>

I saw these the other day and thought, “what the heck, they’re worth a shot.” I know they’re labeled to use once and then they’re all done and kinda worthless for anything else, but looking at the picture, I couldn’t see why they weren’t super easy to convert over to a reusable activity.

And I was right! with just a little bit of sandpaper, this is one of the happiest tests I’ve ever had with making a craft into something re-useable. Just stick the sticky felt stickers onto the smooth side of a sheet of sandpaper, cut them out (okay, that part was tedious) and hand the to your kids for endless fun!

One of the sheets doesnt have sticky backs, and I just left them alone. I could add sandpaper, but it hasn’t bugged my kids that the big pieces are slightly less clingy than the smaller pieces.

Also, the stands are kinda worthless, but eh, they came with the kit. they’re just not weighted enough to really hold the project up.

They did fight over the pieces quite a bit, so I’m half tempted to buy 2 more sets before they’re all sold out, but I wish they’d just all share because there are 3 boards, so I don’t think I should have to have 9 of them! I’m just crossing my fingers that when they’re not new, sharing becomes a little easier.

My oldest started out with the gingerbread man. The mouth is upside down, so the sandpaper side is showing.
