AnonyMouse_43045 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Have spent the weekend making a Storyboard/felt Board!!!!! Only took me Half an hour to make in the end and cost me £0 !!! After walking around town trying to find cheap felt and a suitable backing (to no avail) ,came home and cut up a old Felt Christmas stocking (shhh don't tell hubby!. Then found a bit of card for backing Cross stitch that i have kept ?! behind my chest of draws! Have not done cross stitch for about 15 yrs !. Cheated by downloading pictures , laminated them and stuck small bits of Velcro to them TADA have not made one of these in years . Last time i did i was doing my NNEB training . Sorry had to share with someone!!!!!!!! hubby not interested! . Looking at it though i may have to make another one !. Looking forward to sharing it with Pre-School tomorrow . Does anyone else use Story Boards ? 9
AnonyMouse_64 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I made a felt board for playgroup - was really quick and easy. Now you have it you'll be able to print and laminate many more resources for it at small cost. Well done.
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) looks lovely and almost free... I used to use one...ours was huge though as it was made from the green baize from a snooker table.. a parent gave me a large piece of it....worked brilliantly tied onto a hanging rack on wheels . the most popular one was the hungry caterpillar.. got the printables from DKLT Felt board fun trouble is it is so easy to become addicted to adding more and more stories.. think I had at least 20 , we had a cheap plastic file box for each one and they were well used.. I was often having to replace one or two pictures where they wore out or became lost.. I am sure I had one little one who took a piece home to play with.. Edited January 26, 2015 by Inge 1
AnonyMouse_79 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I lost lots of resources from little fingers! 1
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Came across 'Early Learning HQ' website yesterday, fab free downloadable resources on there for topics, stories, poems, rhymes etc... 1
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Well done! Looks great. Justifiably proud!
AnonyMouse_43045 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks guys for all your ideas will have a look at the links .
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Oooh - I love it - well done you!!! :1b 1
AnonyMouse_2127 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I love either drawing my own or printing off pictures from different websites and then laminating them to go on our felt story board. I have made loads and loads of story boards by using this method, Children love it as well. Just be warned if you are like me you will keep thinking of different stories to put on the felt boards as well as my own number lines (using photos of the children) numbered tools for our construction area, 10 in a bed and other rhymes, etc, etc. Yours look good - well done Chrissie - looks good.

AnonyMouse_19920 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 looks fantastic - well done you - think it is going to go on my list of things to make /do -but will be right at the top. ideas of where to download pictures would be great please
Guest Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Lovely job! I made mine when I did my pre-school playgroup association diploma 23 years ago, and it's still going strong - hope yours give you as much pleasure.
AnonyMouse_43045 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks guys . I made a HUGE one when i did my NNEB but have a feeling its got lost/thrown away in my many Moves! . Not sure it will last long as its VERY cheap felt. At the Mo it will do the job . Enjoying browsing net for ideas and pictures . I have drawn my own in the past but find it easier to print out outlines and paint and then LAMINATE TADA!!!!!!! LOL
