GRADE 2 FELTING FUN

 

 

Today we had a great time with a class of 20 Grade Two school kids.

 

We talked about Wool & Felting techniques (Needle & Wet Felting).

 

They all amazed how wool fibres turn into many interesting wool creations!

 

At the end of the workshop, each of them got to try wet felting.

 

 

 

Project #1 Felted Wool Ball

 

Everyone was given 3 colored wool fibres of his/her choice.

 

We found out red, blue, lime green, shocking pink & turquoise are their favorite colors!

 

Then, lots of hands rolling & rubbing action + many soapy water on the table too!

 

They all are very excited after having the loose wool fibres turned into wool balls.

 

 

Project #2 Felted Snake 

 

Just a week or so earlier, we also did a Chinese New Year presentation to the same class.

 

We talked about Year of the Snake.

 

So we decided to make a fun felted snake as well.

 

This project is a little harder to handle but many were able to make theirs with some helps.

It's really our pleasure to share felting fun to young children.

 

For sure they will Felt It. Love It. Treasure It.
