Felt Board Farm for Kids

For the Earth Goddess — the one who believes a child learns the world best by picking it up and setting it down somewhere new.

Barn, silo, pasture, pond. Seventy felt pieces with velcro backs — pigs and hens and horses, fences, hay bales, a tractor that goes wherever the story needs it — all waiting on a wide felt field for someone small to decide what happens today. Nothing is glued down, which is the entire point. The cow may sleep on the roof if the cow has had a difficult week.

Hang it on a wall, spread it across the floor, or fold it into a bag for the long drive to grandmother's. It asks for no batteries and makes no sound but the one your child makes narrating it. Teachers reach for it for early literacy and sequencing; the rest of us use it to buy twenty quiet minutes and call it educational.
