Craft Supplies:
- Colored Craft Felt
- Velcro
- Fabric Scissors
- Fabric Paint
- Sewing Needle and/or Sewing Machine
{I hand stitched the numbers on but since the velcro material was tough, I used the sewing machine to stitch it on the felt}
Check out our AMAZON storefront for supplies!
Directions:
- First cut your felt into strips. You will want ten {or more}
- Out of white felt, cut squares out. These will have the “numbers” painted on them.
- Using fabric paint, paint/draw on your numbers to the squares. {1-10} Let dry completely.
- Stitch the number squares to the center of the felt strips.
- Now stitch on the velcro {one on each end/opposite sides} to the felt strips.
- Then connect the felt pieces like you would a paper chain.
- And that’s it! You now have a felt counting game for your little one!
