My sister had made her daughter a felt board sometime last fall, and for a while I'd been thinking about making her more stories. Since I had never made anything like this, I thought the alphabet and counting felts might be an easy place to start.
The numbers & letters came from Michaels, and I just stuck them on to the cut out squares of felt. The shapes used for #8, 9 & 10 were also bought and stuck onto felt - the ladybugs, flowers and cupcakes. All the other shapes I cut out. (For a more cost effective option, I recommend checking your local dollar store for felt before Michaels.)
As I said, my sister had made the felt board but it it pretty simple - you just need a piece of cardboard and a piece of felt! :) Two of my friends have made them as gifts since I did this project...it's a great home made option for any little one!
