I was impressed with the post on Waldorf-inspired felted Jesse tree ornaments. Felting seems to be something that is easy for children to learn, but I have a few questions:

1. What is felting?

2. Can you recommend any kid-friendly beginner felting books? I have a five year old. I can help with reading the book, but we would both need something geared more to children.

Blessings,

Elizabeth

Felting is fun for children. We have made balls (with bells in them)and anything round like apples and pumpkins. Here are a few good sites:felting 101
Here is a good site for making felt balls and pincushions.
