Felt Apples Craft for Kids - With fall comes an abundance of apples. Make these cute little candy apples, caramel apples and apples from the orchard with felt foam balls.

Felt Stitched Ornaments Craft - After playing with stitching them on paper, I decided that I wanted to try to adapt the idea to fiber. For the images shown here, I used the same pattern as in my earlier post. I poked holes through the pattern and then taped it to a piece of felt. I then used a fine-tipped sharpie marker to make dots on the felt through the holes.

Frog Bean Bag Felt Craft for Kids - This is terrific first sewing project for children. If using it as such, I recommend having the children sew the body pieces together using a running stitch or a blanket stitch and then glue the remaining pieces together. I would fill with pillow stuffing instead of rice ... stuffing won't leak out as easily if the child didn't keep their stitches tight enough.

Felt Board Craft for Kids - Spinning a tale comes naturally for many children, especially when inspired by a storytelling board with movable characters and props.

Felt Masks Craft for Kids - I have just completed a very successful class project that I thought others might enjoy. My class was doing plays of children's nursery rhymes, and I thought the plays would really come to life if the children made and wore masks to represent their characters. Making the mask was fun, although at times a little messy.

Felt Freshener Craft for Kids - Sweeten the prospect of a long car ride with one of these decorative fresheners.

Felty Friends Craft for Kids - This Felty Friend is similar to cloth dolls made in the 1800s, except that we've inserted a pipe cleaner skeleton to make the doll posable.

Felt Pups Craft for Dog Lovers & Kids - Here's a pattern for an adorable dog with movable legs. It's a basic shape that's easy to transform into various breeds. For instance, add spots with a fine-tipped permanent marker for a Dalmatian, or sew on pom-pom poufs and voila, a poodle.
