A felt story board is not a new concept in toys. In fact, it’s anything but new, it’s a classic. I remember being a young girl playing for hours during “quiet time” with a felt doll that I could dress up and change her clothes. When I think about it, I think my mom might have even hand made it for me.
This classic toy is making a big comeback thanks to a company that recognizes that kids using their imaginations is a good thing – Babalu, Inc.
I’m happy to introduce to you all FeltTales. FeltTales is a fun, open ended felt toy that is perfect for quiet times, travel time, or even improvisational story time.
Each storyboard is made from at least 19 movable felt pieces to arrange and play with. We’re loving the “Pups in the Park” and also think Riding School and Noah’s Ark look pretty fun too!
As a parent, I highly recommend Felttales as a perfect gift for holiday season. A few reasons I love
them – no batteries, no annoying sound effects, promotes creativity and can store/travel easily.
Recommended for the +3 crowd, I also love that both my 5 year old and 2 (with my supervision) year old wants play with it.
FeltTales by Babalu, Inc. are reasonably priced at $19.95 each, making them a great gift for this holiday season.
WIN ONE! Thanks to the very generous folds at Babalu, Inc. – we have one FeltTale to give away to a lucky Simple Reader. To be entered, visit Babalu Inc, look around, and come back here letting us know your favorite toy or FeltTale in their shop! Sorry – this giveaway is only open to US shipping address.
