Both kids enjoyed building the train, so I decided to make them felt shapes for a train. Here is the design I created:

My plan is to create a series of standard shapes made out of felt that can be used to create various scenes/pictures. Then I can just get out the shapes and design sheets and my kids can use them over and over, or create new designs of their own.
Here is the felt train. Emma really enjoyed making it over and over, with a little help.
