Felt Board Printables (DIY)

Milk Filter Paper is the best kept secret around!
A friend taught me about how to use milk filter paper to print different characters, words, or story props for our felt board. It is so quick, easy, and simple!
Ken Ag 15" Transfer System Milk Filters
Just put the Milk Filter Paper in your printer (you will need to trim it to an 8 1/2 X 11 size), print, and cut. That’s all!
We have the Nativity Scene for Christmas time (found at Activity Village).
The Solar System is fun to use and put in order.
The Angry Birds Printable (at the top) has been a big hit on our felt board!
Find other felt board printables at DLTK and Child Care Land. and now you can make your own just by putting clipart, pictures, or images in Word.

Make Your Own Felt Board:

Use a foam craft board or an inexpensive piece of wood and cover it (using spray glue or a glue gun) with a large piece of felt or flannel (purchased at a craft store).

Hello! What a great idea! I looked online and I only see round "discs" for milk filters. They seem very small, too. Am I looking at the right thing? Thank you.

Yes, the discs are the right thing. It comes in circles and then you cut it down to printer paper size. Try to get the 15 inch discs. I did a quick glance online and different stores like Farm and Fleet carry them.

I bought milk filter paper myself recently and have been having fun with new felt board stories that don't take up quite so much time as making everything yourself. I definitely have used kizclub stories quite a bit.

Hi! My printer keeps rejecting the milk filter paper. Is there a special setting I should use? Thanks!!!

I just figured it out! I had to change my paper setting. I just picked a thicker setting and decided that "transparency paper" was probably closest to the thickness of the milk filter paper. Yay!

When you print color are you using an inkjet or a laser printer?

I am using an inkjet printer. You can print in color (I do) or black and white and then color them in by hand if you want.

akiddmom,It is pretty sturdy. I would say it would be harder than construction paper to rip. It is thinner than a regular piece of felt you'd buy at a craft store though which is why you can put it through your printer. I'd give it a try!
