Felt Board Fun

A few months ago I made the girls two felt boards by covering two large canvases with felt and hanging them on the wall. One of the felt boards I left blank for free play, while the other I covered with precut sticky felt letters. I wanted to create a more positive environment in the house--when Lu does a good job with her chores or behavior she earns an extra book for us to read her at bedtime. The positive reinforcement seems to work well. I also have a calender for her so that she can figure out what activities she has every day.

I added a few holiday pieces for fun the other day.

A snow man that she can put together herself.......

A train that is on it's way to the north pole, and some snow-covered mountains, complete with good old Rudolph the Reindeer.

Lu's already telling me that Rudolph's pretty lonely and he needs a friend....
