DIY Felt Toadstool
Toadstools sprouting from the ground, seemingly overnight, can inspire the imagination to think of a mythical world, complete with fairies and gnomes. If your child has a love of the whimsical, create a felt board for her where she can create her own magical worlds by sticking the shapes to the felt base. Include some toadstools in the selection of felt objects.
