Fun with Felt




These are some of the test pieces my students made this week. This project is working very well even one of the boys who hates art made a piece.

  2. Are these wool? I have stayed away from felting because of a wool allergy, and I wonder, if you use wool, what you do with kids who may be allergic?

  3. Yes its all wool and can make your hands very very itchy, I have ordered some throw away gloves, because it was driving me mad and Im sure some of the students wont like the feel of it either. I knever came accross a student who was allergic to the wool, the scool uniform consists of a woolen jumper so I guess I would be aware of that allergic reaction before hand.
