Ideas for setting the stage ~ Collect natural treasures while on outings and walks for props as well as child's play.  Scenery can be made from stones, seashells, pine cones, horse chestnuts, bark, and sawed-off lengths of branches.  Ponds, meadows, rocky mountains, and snow-covered hills can be made from colored cloths and unspun wool. Drape your stage with silks or gauze.

A story board is a wonderful prop for illustrating and telling a story.  On this page, you'll find wool and felt for creating your own story board.  We hope you find these suggestions helpful and inspiring!

It's easy to make 6 soft and airy pure wool angels or fairies (each 3.5" tall) in the colors of the rainbow. Two kits would make the 12 good fairies in Sleeping Beauty/Briar Rose!

Alternate ideas include hanging from a hoop to make a mobile or from a branch on your nature table or holiday tree. Ages 6 and up.
