INSTRUCTIONS
- Firstly, I began with the picture of farm. As shown in the picture, I created a farm out of red felt and glued it with silicon on the white felt. Then I added some patterns by using white and yellow pieces of felts.
- I made the ground out of green felt and the sun out of yellow felt and glued them on the white felt. Then, I created the animals the molds of which I prepared beforehand out of felt as shown in the picture.
- I attached hook and loop fasteners behind all animals and the ground as seen in the picture.
- There are a lot of flowers that I prepared out of felt as you can see in the picture. We fix them on the page with colorful buttons. I stitched the buttons on the page, I made buttonholes on the flowers and the result is a fasten-loose activity:)
- In this activity, we pick apples from the tree and put them into the basket J First of all, I prepared the tree and trunk and glued them on the page with silicon. I prepared apples out of red felt and stitched snap fasteners on them. Then, I sewed the back of the fastener on the tree on the point where the front and the back would meet. Lastly, I cut a basket shape out of brown felt, made sure that inner side was empty and glued it on the page with silicon.
- I cut a road shape out of grey felt which covers two front pages as shown in the picture and attached it to the ground. I placed thin lanes that I obtained from yellow felt on the road. You can decorate empty parts as you wish. I used trees, houses and flags for ornament.
- Potato head is one of the educative games that children like the most J I prepared the body out of brown felt and the arms out of blue felt, then I placed them on the page. Later, I designed men and women accessories. The content: Two men’s hats, two women’s hats, one pair of pink earrings on the small ears and one pair of bigger ears, two different-sized noses, two pairs of different eyes, a bag, two pairs of shoes, two mustaches, lips, teeth… I prepared a big pocket on the other side to put these materials inside.
- I prepared a washing machine out of brown felt and placed it on the ground. Then I prepared its pieces out of green and black felt and glued them with silicon. By using dark and light brown pieces of felts, I prepared a basket below the page. On the other page, I placed the pairs of the socks in the basket, so that we had a matching activity with the socks in the washing machine:))
- I designed the ladybird shown in the picture by using red, black, green and white pieces of felts. After preparing spots out of black felt, I stitched one part of snap fastener behind them and the other part on the body; so that I fixed the spots on the body. I sewed a zipper in the middle of the body. Thus, we had a pocket, in which we can put the spots when the zipper is opened. That is an enjoyable daily life skills activity:))
- I glued the light brown felt as a pocket shape to put the dragon’s spots inside. I placed the dragon that is prepared out of green felt. Lastly, I inserted hook and loop fastener into the ground and the patterns that are prepared out of yellow and black felt. That is an excellent fine motor skills activity:))
- I designed the frog by using green, red and black pieces of felt. Lastly, I sewed one part of hook and loop fastener among the flies that I prepared out of black and white pieces of felt. And I stitched the other side of hook and loop fastener on the tip of frog’s tongue. Enjoy the game 🙂
