Gettin' Felt Up

You want to talk about cheap Christmas gifts?  Then let's talk felt.  Merry Christmas kids, here's some felt for you.  When my wife first mentioned this, I was pretty skeptical.  When she said felt was a nickel a piece, I was in.  The idea is pretty simple.  If you remember playing with those cool Colorforms sets when you were a kid, it's the same basic idea.  Except, instead of paying ten bucks for one, you pay fifty cents and your kids will have the same level of excitement.

Sadly, I could not find a picture of the Ghostbusters, Thundercats, or He-Man Colorforms sets I used to have.

Here's a list of what you need:

Felt
Scissors
Imagination

Step one:  Cut out felt.  Step two:  You're done.

Here are a few of the scenes that she made for the kids.










Are they cheap?  Yes.  Will the kids enjoy playing with them?  Probably as much as they would a store-bought one.
