Last week-end some friends and I organised a felting morning for all of our children. We’ve done various felting workshops in the past with our kids and they’ve always really enjoyed it. They’ve tried needle felting (a few painful stabs were felt) and the hot water with soap method (the room was SOAKED). Either way the kids loved doing it and always finish feeling very proud of their work.
This time the kids were asked beforehand to make a relatively simple drawing of something they love or find beautiful.
They then had to cut out pieces of different coloured felt to re-create the drawing. 
We put the drawing on the table with bubble wrap over top so it was easy to see. They then placed all the pieces of felt on top of their design.
Then they placed a piece of cream coloured felt on top of their “felted drawing” and slowly poured hot soapy water over top. They gently patted it with their fingers to start the actual felting process.
Slowly the kids can start to see their designs coming through. 
The fun part…patting, rubbing, rolling and throwing the felt around.
Checking to see if it’s the desired size (the more you work the felt the smaller it gets).
