| Festival Felt Figures
Create beautiful, non-breakable representations! Young children can make effective, colorful pictures of the beloved festival events over and over again while parents read or retell the  stories. In total, there are 46 felt pieces which can be mixed and matched with each other to create numerous scenes. 24 Christmas figures can be used to form ten different pictures, including the Annunciation, the Wisemen visiting Herod, the Flight into Egypt, and the Presentation in the Temple. 12 Easter figures make the Triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and the wonder of Easter morning. 10 pieces for New Church Day include Michael, the Great Red Dragon, and the Woman Clothed with the Sun. You will also receive a piece of flannel to form the backing. All you will need is a large piece of cardboard or foam-core to attach the flannel to.
