Storytelling Fun GIVEAWAY!

I am a huge fan of felt story boards!  They are so much fun!  I especially love the felt sets that go along with a book.  It is a great way to enhance the story in a hands on way. Felt stories are also perfect for re-telling after the story is through!


Storytelling Fun, a online store and Etsy shop certainly puts me right in the land of felt board love!  Storytelling Fun is owned and operated by Angela.  She is a stay at home mom with two kiddos of her own.  Check out what she had to say about her felt sets:

"All of the felt sets sold here are made by me in my "art studio" - basement. They are made with the highest quality felt, fabric and ink. I make all of my felt sets with care during nap time and late at night after the kiddos are in bed.



I take great pride in my work and know that you will be 100% satisfied with my products."
 
100% satisfied is exactly what I am with the felt sets we received!  They arrived in the mail and I am not sure who was more excited, C or me (I truly am a teacher a heart and love anything learning related)!  Angela sent C a travel felt board and two felt story sets.

 
I loved the quality of the travel felt board.  It folds up (big plus), has handles and pockets!  This is one cool felt board  that is truly well made and a really great size.  Not too big and certainly not too small! 

We received the felt sets: "If you Give a Mouse a Cookie" and "The Three Bears".  The pieces came pre-cut, but buying the sets uncut for a cheaper price is also an option.  The pieces are smooth and well printed.  No puffy paint or google eyes, which is a big plus because that means less to fall off or come apart.  Actually, I think the felt pieces are virtually indesructable (unless they had a match with scissors, of course).  I love how C can bend them, pile them up and stuff them in a bag and I don't have to small panic attack on whether she is ruining them or not!

 
We already had the book "If you Give a Mouse a Cookie", it is a huge favorite of mine.  I loved the felt pieces that came with the set.  Nothing was left out, all the pieces were there, even a straw for mouse's glass of milk!  Lucky for me, Storytelling Fun has "If you give a Pig a Pancake", "If you give a Moose a Muffin", "If you take a Mouse to School" and "If you take a Mouse to the Movies"!  I want to own them all!
 
The Three Bears felt set came with the story printed on a piece of paper.  This is a nice touch for families that may not have a book on hand telling the story.  It also allowed C to listen and use the felt pieces to create the story (without the aid of pictures in a book). The Three Bears set had all the pieces needed and it was easily distinguishable between items for papa, mama and baby bear.   We played with this set several times together and now C is beginning to put parts of the story together herself!

  11. I would suggest a Bad Case of Stripes for older children. It's a great story and would lend itself well to a creatively made felt set.

  13. Just found your site/blog and love your printables! I am getting ready to teach my 2.5 year old at home this Fall, and am really liking the idea of a felt board. I hopped on over to Esty and love the Weather Bear dress up, so cute to begin to teach the weather to my son. I followed your blog too :-). As far as new products, I do see an alphabet, but what about an alphabet with the letter Aa and an apple and so on. Thanks!
