SparrowKids Felt Kits

Just how many times can one play Candy Land exactly? Let’s not find out.

It is way past time for a new pastime. Get cute and crafty with SparrowKids Felt Kits for kids.

Each set-up includes cut-out felt shapes with prepunched holes, embroidery thread, and a plastic safety needle. Just trying to chose between making a rocket pencil case or a horse purse is an activity in itself for anyone 5 and over (including you).

They’ll put an end to boring board games for good.
