Felt crafts
Basketball pennant flag
Use some stiffened felt to make personalized flags so your kids can cheer each other on at their next game! Little players will love seeing their names waving in the air as they work towards that next point.
Cozy critters
Make these cozy little critters to keep your kids’ hard-boiled eggs nice and warm. When eggs aren’t on the menu, they do double as tiny puppets!
Jersey
Turn any long-sleeved shirt into a hockey jersey with some felt and glue. Your kids will be ready to hit the imaginary rink in your living room the second the glue is dry.
Fancy felt hairpins
Turn plain bobby pins into your child’s new favourite accessory with some felt shapes, glue and glitter. Try different shapes to match the season: snowflakes for winter, flowers for spring, a beachball for summer and leaves for fall. And stars work for every season.
Owl eye pillow mask
Get your little night owl excited to sleep with this charming eye mask. Do this craft with your kids in the morning before lunch so it’ll be ready for naptime!
Super easy friendship bracelets
Technically this is a Valentine’s Day craft, but sweet, heart-shaped jewellery is pretty all year round. Have the kids make little friendship bracelets for their friends, grandparents, aunts and uncles.
Yoda ears
These ears will instantly turn your kiddo into a wise, old jedi master. Round out the ends and use black and pink felt to make easy cow ears. White and pink felt will give you the cutest lamb ears. Now who wants to play pretend?
Fish pencil case
Why buy a boring rectangular pencil case when you can make this wonderfully fishy one with your kid. Putting pencils away will be much more fun as your kid pretends this toothy fish is chomping down on a delicious pencil lunch.
