Advantages: I use to love them (still do ... shhhh!)

Disadvantages: children these days are less impressed

I remember hours of fun as a child with Fuzzy Felt. When out with my other half one day we came across a box and both said how we'd enjoyed playing with our sets so we got a big box for the kids and cousins to play with at a family dinner that weekend.

I was rather excited to show the kids the fun of Fuzzy Felt!

I shouldn't have gotten so excited as the kids of today are more interested in games that talk back and move! The evil children weren't at all interested. The 4 year old ended up the only one interested and so she had 2 adults playing with it at the table whilst the rest of the demons were running around outside or on the Playstation.

Fuzzy Felt first came onto the market in the 1950's and for those of you who aren't familiar with Fuzzy Felt it is basically felt shapes which you can stick to a board to create a scene. We were making farmyard scenes with the set we had.


I think these days fuzzy Felt and such toys aren't really going to last. The babies are trying to eat it and then there is only a year or so between then and when they're not interested. I remember having fun with them, (given we only had 3 television stations!)

If you find yourself with a child who will appreciate Fuzzy Felt you'll be happy to know that there are a huge number of sets ranging from pets to space adventures. Our farmyard set was about £7 but obviously each set will be differently priced.

Safety warning: Due to choking hazard this toy is only recommended for children over the age of 3 years.
