Here is another video of the Story Time Felts products being used. This is the boy weather bear that she is using, but there is also a girl weather bear available. This is something that is often used in the preschool in morning circle time when the children talk about the weather for that day. It is also wonderful to use at home to talk to you little one about the weather and you will see that they will make up stories on their own with the bear as they change the weather and the bear’s clothes.

For the month of November we have two awesome products on special. The first is The Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly. I believe I have posted this video recently, but since it is on sale this month I thought I would show you the product in action again.

The other set that is on sale is our Dinosaurs felt board set. This dinosaur set comes with lesson ideas, coloring pages and 31 felt figure. It’s perfect for the classroom or at home for that dinosaur fanatic.

Here is another great video of a Story Time Felts product in use. This is the well know story of The Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly. Children love this nonsensical story plus, it promotes rhyming, an important pre-reading skill.

I wanted to let you know about a new offering that I have. The Story Time Felts felt board stories that we offer are very popular for the preschool and kindergarten classroom and for gift giving. Many of our customers give them as gifts to their children or grandchildren and they are also great gifts for the teacher from the class.

What I have done I grouped together our three most popular felt board products at a price reduction of 23%.

This felt board collection includes three felt backgrounds, 3 CDs, reproducible coloring pages, reproducible sequencing pages and the figure to tell 17 different stories. See more details here.
As a Story Time Felts representative, if this collection does not work for you I would love to help you put one together that suits your needs and gives you savings. I truly believe that these are the types of toys that we need more of and I would love to help bring them to the children in your lives.

For the month of October our Fingerplay Fun with CD set is on sale. This is a great set for the preschool classroom or for at home.  The set comes with 55 felt figures, a sing-along CD, glove and velcro dots for the fingers.
Here is a video of out fingerplay set in use!

Here is another YouTube video. This video shows a little girl playing with her felt board pieces and making up her own story. You can really see how a toy like this can be so valuable to children and their development. The video is a little rough and there is a bit of a strange noise going on, but I thought that what it shows is very important to see.

I was looking around YouTube today and came across this video of Cullen of CullensABCs using our Story Time Felts Preschool Finger Plays to demonstrate the Five Little Ducks song.

I thought that you might enjoy seeing the felt products in use.

We have two different Preschool Fingerplay sets and there is also the option to purchase the two sets together with a CD of the fingerplay songs.

One of my favorite toys is on sale for the month of September, our Felt “Paper” Dolls. This sale includes our girl dolls, boy dolls, twin baby dolls, Just Like Me doll and a very cool international costumes add on set.

This is one of my favorite products because of how I have see it used by children.  It is a way for a child to easily create a new world for themselves that they can explore without the fear of social judgment. They can express their fears, desires, creative ideas and test limits in a safe and comforting way.

This type of creative play is necessary for children to help them sort out the world around them. The social, academic and educational benefits of play are limitless.

Add a new dimension to your classroom this year with a felt board story set. Felt boards allow children to interact with a story. They can retell the story in their own words and also use the pieces in a new way to create a new story. Sequencing, story telling and oral language skills are developed through the use of felt boards.
Felt board sets include stories, coloring pages, sequencing page and CD with stories. All products are made of thick, high quality, washable felt and are made in the USA.
