I found these great big buttons at Walmart (sorry Amanda! ;) and had to find something to do with them. I have SO MUCH felt at home and decided that I would cut out shapes and make a felt board that Cameron could practice buttoning. I really want him to practice buttoning but all of this dress shirts have such little buttons that he can't do them yet so I thought this would be good practice for him.
I didn't think of taking pictures of it while I was making it but I think you can figure out how to make it. I just sewed the buttons on a stiff piece of felt and cut out different pieces of felt and slit a hole in the shape felt.
I haven't had him try it yet so I'll have to let you know if he liked it or not. Anthony's birthday party is on Sunday so I'll have to see if my little cousins (they are 4 and 5) like it. It's nice when they come over and I can experiment on them too. (:
