The Maplerose Grizzly Bear Needle Felting Kit is a great place to start needle felting. Make an adorable stuffie, or if you like, a playful finger puppet.
Needle felting is a craft that's easy to jump into. It's a lot like sculpting clay but easier and not as messy. And once you're done your felted creation, you can always go back and change it or fix it up. It's so forgiving, you can't really mess it up.
Waldorf classrooms have children felting at around 8 years old. The needle used is very sharp, but it's a great opportunity to learn focus and to create with so many senses - the colours are bright, the wool is soft and the transformation is magical.
