This is a felt board I made based on The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh for my toddler class. I used acrylic paint on the felt. The paint makes the felt a little heavy so sometimes certain pieces fall down more than they normally would. I took out a lot of the details and just used what I felt were the key elements to the painting to make it more open ended for the children. I felt that if I tried to recreate the painting too much I’d end up with more of a puzzle and that would have defeated the purpose of the felt board.
That said, it looks great in the room and the children have used it this week. Which makes me happy because now I can make more for them to play with.
