We learned about felting from our artist in residence Mrs. King. We now know the ingredients to make felt with wool.
First we separated the strands so we could work them back in together with the soapy warm water. Then we applied pressure and we rolled them into balls for a long long time. The kids did a great job.
Then we added some colored wool and formed another felted ball.
Westley gave this activity a "thumbs-up!"
We had to "shock" the felted ball into staying in that position by putting it in cold water.
We put our felted balls in egg cartons to let them dry.
