Summer is quickly coming to a close & fall activities are just around the corner despite what the thermometer says! :)

Here is a quick felting project we embarked upon on a cloudy Tuesday Morning. I was yet again strapped for time and wanted to do something quick to add to our outdoor play area. We had previously made a felted butterfly for the space.



First I took two pipe cleaners & twisted them together to make a cloud shape.



I began to needle felt white wool around the frame.





Hello Kitty band aid to cover where I stabbed myself. Occupational hazard of needle felting. No matter how careful you are, you are bound to stab yourself now & again. :)



That’s it. It’s amateur-ish – but as I say time & time again, your kids won’t care. They are simply happy to have you make something for them/with them. Imaginations do the rest. :)

I recommend telling a story as you make the cloud to keep the event exciting for your child. I suck at story telling. But, the more I do it, the better I get. Making stories up on the fly is getting easier, as well.



Out comes the string so that we can put up our cloud.



We have been enjoying watching it float around just like the real clouds in the sky. :)
