The Mixed Up Chameleon Felt Set Tutorial (FREE Pattern)~ Buggy and Buddy

 

(This post contains affiliate links.)

Recently we read the story, The Mixed Up Chameleon by Eric Carle. We even made a simple fine motor and counting game to go with it! Because the kids enjoyed the story so much, I decided to create a Mixed Up Chameleon felt set for the kids to use on our felt board. (If you don’t have a felt board, be sure to check out my simple tutorial for making your own!)

How to Make The Mixed Up Chameleon Felt Set

Use your printer to print out the pattern pieces onto paper. Cut them out.

Pin the pattern pieces onto your felt. Cut around them using good scissors.

 

pin the pattern to the felt

 

Remove the pins to reveal your finished piece. You can even use a Sharpie marker to add some details to your felt piece.

Playing with the Felt Set

Often the kids start out by using the felt set to retell the story. They’ll usually have the book nearby as a reference as they’re playing.

 

Using the story and felt board together

 

As play progresses, the pieces usually become involved in a new story the kids make up all on their own!
