Felt Board Tutorial Series: Weather Templates

This was already posted on Frugal Girls, but I have gotten several requests from my readers to repost it here so that you can easily access the templates, no problem!

Welcome back to my Felt Board Tutorial Series!  Previously, we have discussed How to Make the Felt Board  and I have also given you a downloadable template for Making Felt People and Clothing .

Now, let’s move on to some more shapes dealing with the Weather.  These would not only be great just for home use, but also for teachers to use at school or even for parents to use in their homeschooling classrooms!

Let’s begin!

Download and Print your Weather Templates HERE   AND HERE  ( there are two pages to download and print for the weather templates)

Same as with the Felt People, gather your supplies:

At this point, you can either use your markers to trace onto the felt or you can just cut, while holding the pattern piece:

Now for the fun part… Painting!  You do NOT need to be an artist for this, trust me!  Have fun with it and remember that it is a toy for children and they won’t care if there are imperfections…. just enjoy the process!


Oh, and think back to grade school when we learned the colors of the rainbow:  ROYGBIV  (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet)  

Let the fabric paint dry for at least 4 hours:

Continue on with the same method for all of your shapes.  Trace, cut, embellish!  You can either embellish with paint like I did with the cloud….

OR you can embellish with a colored Sharpie marker like I did with the sun!
