Playful Props

One of the most engaging features you may find with Teddy is his ability to invite the imagination of children! Are you teaching to a theme?  Great! Teddy can have lots of fun with the children (and you!) with a few simple materials.

Teddy is made of felt. One of its timeless qualities is that felt pieces stick to felt easily!  So in order to create props for an occasion or theme, all you have to do is use a piece 

of self adhesive felt on one side and pick a special paper for the other.  


Often scrapbook papers have lovely, bright and unique designs that easily work with  a theme.

For example,to make 
Teddy into a "pirate," 
simply choose a polka dot scrapbook paper and back it with the self- adhering felt. Cut out the pirate cap, and Teddy will be ready for a new adventure!     Think of the language skills you can teach by having the children help you design Teddy's new look!
