Helpful Note: Felt is a textile where natural (wool) or synthetic (acrylic) fibers are pressed together. Some felts are very soft, but others are strong enough to be used as construction material. I generally use 2 mm thick acrylic felt in my works. When washing, I did not experience shrinkage and elongation problems, but you may experience such issues with some soft felts.

Warning: Children have vivid imaginations; some really bite felt food, and tiny children can suck them. Of course, we don’t want our little ones to swallow the remnants of industrial production. Therefore, disinfect the felt before starting this project.
