I had the same problem with the felt boards, and have used quite a few
things to try and get my stuff to stick. What seems to work best is I
tape it up using packaging tape (the clear stuff) on the back of the
felt pieces. It pulls the flet board a bit when you remove the
pieces, but this is my 4th session with the board and it still looks
great. I don’t take the background off at all during the session, so
it’s only the animals that I take off, and that is usually only once
or twice per class/per session, so not too much on and off. Mostly I
use my board to point out the animals and to hide all my baskets with
the song items in them! 🙂
I’ll have to look at those socks, what a great idea! So far I’ve just
taken my shoes off, but winter is coming, and my toes are going to get
quite cold.
Also, I found stampers online when I started a couple of years ago
that say bueno or buen trabajo, etc. and I call everyone’s name during
the adios song to come up and get a stamp. The kids seem to love
that! It’s been a good class ender for me, just thought I would pass
it on!
I just did the “slop” art activity with my VERY young and energetic
Parent/Child class, it was a hit! they all loved to be cerditos!
Also, I read the cerdito story from the other farm unit, seemed like a
good day for the story as well.
