Felt Ice Boulders

Brrrrrr - get ready for some cool imaginative play with our Felt Ice Boulders. Each soft boulder provides a calming way for young children to learn new early life skills, such as counting, building and sorting. Whether learning or engaging in mindful role play, our felts are the perfect addition to any loose parts collection. 

The variety of icy patterns and sizes in this set encourages children to learn grouping and new words. Whether arranging the parts into patterns or using them as part of an avalanche roleplay, children develop their creativity and problem-solving skills as they explore different ways to use the pieces. This type of open-ended play also promotes fine motor skills.

The soft, soothing texture of the felt is ideal for sensory exploration, allowing children to engage in calming play that enhances focus and emotional well-being. Whether used in group play or solo activities, the boulders offer a quiet and peaceful way for children to express themselves and relax.

Our Felt Ice Boulders are lightweight and easy to store, making them perfect for early learning settings. They can be easily moved between activity stations or taken on the go for playtime outside. To expand your frosty loose part collection, we also have our Felt Snow Scenery balls. Each pack contains 10 felt boulders.
