I made my felt board from an IKEA easel that I bought on sale because it was used in the showroom--score! If you can find a cheap easel, I highly recommend covering it with felt! All you need is a large piece of felt and double-sided tape! I trimmed the edges with an exact-o knife after (well, actually my husband did that for me because he's better at those kinds of things!). It's much better as a felt board than a chalkboard because it looked like the chalkboard was difficult to erase--plus you know chalk gets messy. This is one of my most-used classroom tools.
I created some pieces for The Three Little Pigs, BINGO, Old MacDonald and Alice the Camel--all are a hit in my classroom, but the camel is probably the most popular (although I think she's kind of ugly! ha!).
