Hey all,
I've been designing a set of felt board pieces for my kid to make jack-o-lanterns, cause this seems like a good use of felt boards.
Before I let my kid loose on these, I was thinking a trial run would be useful. Most of the work for me is in design, and cutting extra sets is no big deal.
So, do you have kids of an age that would enjoy a felt board jack-o-lantern set? Would you post pictures here of what they create and share feedback on the set?

First two people to say yes, and privately send me their addresses, will get a set mailed to them.

That's a very generous offer! It could be lots of fun, but my kids are too old.
What they are is a board covered with felt (we had flannel) and cut-outs of the same material that you can "stick" to the board and easily peel off, making scenes, story sets, etc.

Looks like an admin didn't think this was general enough and moved it back to the crafts section, and now i've got two threads here.
Perhaps an admin could move it back, or at least delete the prior thread here?

Hopefully someone will come along and find this thread... I've got two sets all ready to go in the mail.

here's an idea of what it's like

except my current version has about 8 face sets and two pumpkins.

mind if I ask what kind of box you havebit in? Or where you got it? I love the hinged look! Gonna get some felt and make a set! Thanks hhh (is your name pronounced triple h like the wrestler?) for your inspiration! Reminds me of my youth! My Nan (grandma) was a school teacher and had a love of felt boards! Not sure why I never thought of making some myself! A

It's an old box that I think was from baby silverware, but I'm currently storing extra felt pieces in a binder with felt pages.

My name isn't pronounced.
