The story of Ranginui and Papatuanuku. I created this in felt, to help tell the Maori creation story. Details were drawn on felt using fine black Sharpie pens. Do not use a Superfine nib - it catches on the felt. Acrylic felt is best to use - aside from being half the price of wool felt, I find that wool felt is more likely to pull and become fluffy.
The brothers trying to push Ranginui and Papatuanuku apart... Tangaroa (God of the Sea); Rongomatane (God of cultivated food); Tumatauenga (God of War) and Tawhiri Matea (God of wind).
Tane Mahuta lay on his back and pushed Ranginui up into the sky.
The brothers turned Papatuanuku over so she couldn't look up at Ranginui; Ranginui's tears formed the rivers and lakes and oceans; Tawhiri Matea went to live with his father in the sky; Ruaumoko stayed in his mothers womb.
Felt train with numbered carriages; ideal for putting in numerical order, number identification, fill the carriages with the corresponding number of items, etc. Felt numbers glued onto felt cut-outs of carriages.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I used fabric paints and fabric markers to paint the details on the food. The leaf, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly are all needle-felted.
The story of The Little Red Hen. Details applied using fabric paint, fabric markers, and a fine Sharpie pen.
