Happy Saturday everyone! Today I’m sharing with you a VERY easy busy bag idea called “Counting Felt Chain.”
The finished product is a great activity for young children and teaches counting & fine motor skills.
With just some simple colored felt, velcro, fabric paint and a sewing needle – you too can make this simple counting game for your child. {And this is coming from the person who HATES sewing but enjoyed making this!}
Felt Counting Game Craft Supplies:
* Colored Craft Felt {affiliate link}
* Velcro {affiliate link}
* Fabric Scissors
* Fabric Paint {affiliate link}
* 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}
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.
