Ocean Animals Felt Board Set

"My absolutely most favorite Story Time Felts product is the Ocean Set. The depth of the artwork in the background is incredible! It seems as if you can see forever in this beautiful ocean. I really enjoy the fact that we can use it as either a warm water ocean or a cold water ocean. I've even shared it with my daughter's teachers during Beach Week at school. They all love it - especially the identification charts and other activities that come with the set!" -- Cindy S. in Alaska

Ocean Animals Felt Board Set

Your child will get to know the creatures of the deep in this beautiful mind-expanding set! Scuba divers explore vivid underwater sea life at the bottom of the ocean, or an iceberg can be placed on top of the scene to learn about polar bears and penguins in Arctic regions. Includes a 23" x 31" background felt board scene that folds in half for storage or a 15 1/2" x 23" background felt board. 67 felt figures you can cut out, or order precut, as well as related lessons and playtime activities for home and school. View Detail. Tip: Since our felt is washable, you can even play with these figures in the bath for realistic "oceans" of fun! The felt figures adhere to the sides of the bathtub and fall off when they dry the next day!

Note: The large felt boards are scored to fold in the center for storage. Make sure you open them all the way and lean them at an angle so friction and gravity can work together so the felt story figures stick!

Backgrounds or Figures only also available*

FunFelt Idea: Play "What Doesn't Belong?" by placing pictures of various things (use tape, velcro or bits of sandpaper on back) on the Ocean background along with the fish and other figures. Have the children pick out what doesn't belong and discuss why not. For example, place a tornado, trash, or a person with clothes. Have fun teaching the children about ecology!
