I have been digging through my felt scraps a lot lately, especially after making a brand new felt board for the boys.  So when I came across this adorable owl flannel board the other day, I knew it was what I would be making next for the felt board.

As with most craft projects that I do, I just cut it out free hand with no patterns.  I made six owl shapes, six various tummy shapes, and six sets of eyes and beaks.  The pairs of eyes were hot glued together with a beak to make one facial piece.  So the final play set includes 18 pieces.

  The pieces can easily be interchanged to make a variety of different owls.

J is convinced that these are "Angry Bird Owls" and enjoyed creating his own owls.  He also put the owls on the board sideways so that the owls could sleep.  It was really cute.  Unfortunately, I did not have my camera nearby to take pictures.  Instead, I leave you with some pictures of K making some owls.
