Description

Introducing this step-by-step teacher resource guide to making creative DIY Hand Felted Storytelling Props using pure wool fleece slivers, and natural fibres, such as silk and knitting wool.


Themed story mats are an amazing interactive and engaging learning resource, perfect for:

  • Elementary (Primary) School, Prep and Kindergarten Teachers
  • Early Childhood Educators in Preschools, Childcare Centers & Family Day Care Homes
  • Play Therapists, Child Psychologists, and Parents.


Handmade story mats are the ideal hands-on tool for telling educational, informative, seasonal and therapeutic stories to groups of children (and individuals), using props to spark children's imagination and creativity. Kids can play with the mats too. 


Story mats support child development and promote language acquisition by enhancing children's ability to recall, retell, sequence, and organize. Manipulating props reinforces their fine motor skills. Plus, it's tonnes of fun to bring stories alive using small dolls, toys & loose parts.


This teacher resource book includes a guide on where to buy supplies for felting (find stores all over the world), plus a list of helpful tools to make the felting process faster and easier.


Check out all the examples of finished examples too - inspiration for your own signature mat designs for storytelling all year round. Bonus: use the felting technique to make fun classroom activities including Christmas Advent Calendars, Classroom Job Boards, Daily Schedule Charts, Treasure Hunts, and more!
