I got a book called Green Crafts for Children for Christmas.Many of the crafts are more for older children and adults (especially ones who can sew) but there are a few Westley saw and expressed interest in doing.
Grandma Kathy, Westley and I are trying to do the craft shown on the cover. Today we rolled and glued the two pieces of different colored felt. One piece needs to be a rectangle about 5 by 4 inches. The other rectangle needs to be about 5 by 2 1/2 inches. Lay the smaller felt rectangle on top of the bigger. Center it so there is the bottom color of felt showing on each edge. Spread tacky glue on both those edges, then roll tightly. Rubber band it so the glue can dry and stick it together. It didn't seem like our felt was going to stay glued, but we left it overnight and it did.

I have that book!
Oh, and get some Tacky Glue (brown bottle at Michaels or Hobby Lobby)- it will work much better than Elmers for fabric and crafts.
we tried the tacky and elmer's craft
it worked ok but I don't know if it will stay glued.
Might be better with wool felt?
Everything in life is better with wool felt! :)
