What Is Felting?
If you’re new to felting, you might wonder, What exactly is felting? At its core, felting involves using wool fibers to create solid shapes by matting, pressing, and rolling them together. The art of felting has grown in popularity in recent years, especially as a fun craft that allows individuals to create soft, plush figures. These figures are often used as decorations, toys, or educational tools—just like the adorable wildlife projects in this kit.
Bear Creek Felting is a company founded by an artisan with over 15 years of experience in this craft. What’s even more special about this kit is that the wool used in these projects comes directly from the artisan’s own herd of sheep, giving your homeschoolers a truly hands-on and sustainable crafting experience.
