The felt idea came from “Parent to Parent” when they did a in-service on creating activities based on books. They had a small cardboard (maybe 11inx11in)with felt on it and gave kids pieces of felt to stick to it, I was sold! I know I had to come up with something like that. So I did.
I took my husbands boot shoes box
Hot glued felt to it, added some ribbon so the top wouldn’t flop back
