Tutorial: Take-along felt board play set

Julia from Handcraftiness shares a tutorial for making a child’s take-along felt board play set. With two handles, it folds up and carries like a tote. But instead of being a bag, it opens up to reveal a felt background and a pocket that holds a set of felt shapes. This would be a great quiet toy to take along to church, restaurants, or doctors’ offices.
