Wet Felting

Friday's have become a cherished day in our house. We all love to end our week with a nice long day romping in the woods and playing in the creek. We ended our co-op year with some free play and a little bit of wet felting. The kids and I have never wet felted before and we enjoyed it so much! It is something that we will incorporate into our homeschooling in the future.

I snapped this picture of the kids cohorting on the bench. Not sure what they were planning!

Jacob and Blake rubbing their eggs on the washboard. The friction causes the wool to stick to itself, helping to hold the shape.

More scrubbing



After the eggs were felted, they were rinsed and air dried. They didn't turn out quite as we wanted them too, but I think they look great for our first time wet felting. Afterwards, the kids all enjoyed blowing bubbles, using their hands and fingers to make the bubbles. It was such a great day!
