There's some new kits over in the Needle + Felt Etsy shop... These are based on some feedback and conversations I had at ESRE. There's a seasons kit, interchangeable, moveable, very playable (I might have made up some words there?) There's also a favourite of 5 little men in a flying saucer... And, a moveable emotions kit! Expressions and emotions can be explored by moving the eyebrows, changing the mouths, adding the tears, and also exploring things that make people different such as hair, expressions and even glasses. Let me know your thoughts :) I'll be adding them to the photo albums here on the page also. To purchase: https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/NeedlenFelt

Beautiful Elliot has been discovering puppets... Elliot's mum sent me these photos with a message. "Elliot loves his needle and felt puppets! We are learning all the animal names and sounds (and he likes to have a little taste too)." How gorgeous!! ❤ I'm glad they evidently taste as good as they look 😉 Thanks for the tick of approval Elliot!

Have you got your hands on this wonderful textbook? It is a must for educators. Edited by the wonderful Dr Red Ruby Scarlet who I had the pleasure to once again meet on Saturday at ESRE. Such a beautiful and wonderful book. https://www.facebook.com/multiverseaus/

I have spent a bit (a lot) of time sorting the kits into categories on Etsy (yayyyy!!) This should make your shopping experience a lot easier and break the kits down into relevant categories and styles. 🤗🙏
