felt

Are you teaching your child about the world? So far, we've only shown our little guy a map of the US, but after seeing this felt wall globe, it's inspired me to teach him about the world! This felt wall globe is made of 100% wool felt and the pieces can all be played with and moved around - the magic of velcro!

These sweet little needle felted creatures by Handmade by Brynne fill my insides with so much joy and warmth. I'm no expert on needle felting but it doesn't look very easy. The little characters she makes are just perfect. I love the round bodies and everything else about them! I might just have to get a few to put on our nightstands (even if it means getting some funny looks from the hubby). 

I have yet to buy any finger puppets. I think Seiya's been too young to appreciate them so far, plus I haven't seen ones worth buying... until I saw these! They'd make story telling more fun and entertaining and they'd be cute as room decorative pieces as well. They kind of remind me of the movie "Despicable Me". Not sure if the kitty book in the movie is a real book, but if not, someone should make it real! It's so cute and the puppets are adorable! Do you and your little ones play with finger puppets? Have you discovered new ways to use them?
