Update for new versions of iOS
There seems to be a glitch where as if you close the app, then the number of boards in the gallery will be how many you created. Please fix the bug. And have everything in the app the same exact features.
good childhood game
i remember in elementary i used to play this all the time on the ipad and when i got home from school truly a great time and memories i dobut that the creator will see this comnent since this game is over 11 years old but i just wanna say thank u for a great childhood game yayyy
Wonderful app! I just have a request
I’m a preschool teacher. I’ve recently started doing Zoom meetings due to the pandemic. I teach 3 year olds and I’m very happy that I get to do felt board stories, rhymes and games with this app. My class loves them! It is easy to use and intuitive. It functions like a real flannel board and I like that you can reduce the size of the objects.
One request I have is for the developers to provide different colours of the same object. For example, I have this game where the kids guess which house the mouse is hiding. Originally, the houses have different colours. But because the house in the app has only one colour, I had to add a number to the house.
Another reason for having different colours for an object is so that they’re easy to see even though they overlap. There’s a rhyme that involves 5 elephants playing in the bathtub that I’m bummed to not be able to do because putting them together in the tub makes them look like they’re 1 entity with multiple eyes and trunk.
So yeah, different colours would be great. I’d even be willing to spend extra for those additional things

Good
But glitchy. Keeps crashing when adding clothes.
Awesome game
This is a really awesome game. It can be fun for older kids too. I am 9 and I love it. There is a lot of different stuff to work with, and you can be totally creative!
A Must Have
This is the creativity app that everyone needs on their iPad. It will be the dream app for early childhood and special needs teachers, children of all ages love it, and I can’t think of too many adults who won’t enjoy making felt scenes either. There are so many backgrounds, characters and items, and you can save your scenes too, which is a big bonus for my kids as they like to go back and work on scenes they have created earlier. What I love is that you can have unlimited pieces, and they never go missing! This is one of my favourite apps EVER.

Great App!
This app is used by my class and is a preferred program. There are endless possibilities for the pictures that can be made with this program. There are a variety of categories as well as choices within them. You are also able to resize the pieces to fit your pictures. I recommend this program to other teachers.

The Gold Standard
I don't really know any way to describe this other than it is pretty much the Gold Standard for what a felt board app should be. Very well thought out, User Interface feels incredible. After a minute or two, you forget that you are using an app on an iPad and the experience transforms into what feels like, looks like and essentially is a traditional felt board------ but with all the awesomeness that software brings to the table. I would pay $20.00 for this app because it accomplishes and surpasses it's intended goal. Thank you Software Smoothie.

Great! Lots of choices. Parents get this for your kids.
I really enjoy this app. My kids do too. The felt objects are great and there are several options. As a future update it would be cool if you could start out with felt squares and "cut" to create your own shapes!
I am surprised there aren't more reviews.

FANTASTIC!!
If you're only given 1 choice to download a creativity app, GET THIS ONE! It is creativity at its best! Great user interface, very easy to navigate, amazing graphics! LOVE it!
Fabulous app!
So great for creative, open-ended imaginative play. It's really fun to create your own scenes. Highly recommended for pre-schoolers! Very good app.
Glue feature
Great app! The glue feature in a previous version offers increased flexibility within the app. For example, it would be nice to be able to attach tree top to tree trunks and to be able to decide if items on the tree such as apples should be affixed or easily moved off the tree.
Love!
I think I love this app as much as my kids do! The possibilities are endless and we have so much fun creating pictures together!
Awesome app!
Update made a great app perfect. This app is open ended, creative and fun. The new update opened up more choices in backgrounds & felt pieces. Love the way the people parts & accessories fit together naturally now. Tip: to discard unwanted pieces- touch the trash- touch the unwanted item- then touch trash again when you are done. Took me a bit to figure out that one. Really can spend lots of time creating!

Felt Board
Felt Board is a wonderful app that allows a child to easily create scenes or stories from the ground up. Beginning with choosing a background from the 30 provided, to choosing the characters including skin tone and facial features, to clothing worn, animals, nature and so much more. Items added to the background are easily sized smaller or larger. This app is reminiscent of the felt boards used in schools, but much easier to navigate and build. Students/ Children will love the ease of building their story and option to save it . One of the best features I found within the app was the glue bottle which allows one to fuse the parts created together. This cut down on frustration level . Icons identifying the part needed to create from are unobtrusive and easily accessed from the left side. This is a lovely app that will bring hours of fun to those using it. From an education standpoint, it could be used during speech therapy to work on many different concepts and to learn new vocabulary, by OT to practice and use fine motor skills and in the classroom used as a tool to create a story to tell and/or write about. Beautiful colors and graphics.

Nice app
Nice app! I would like to see more vehicles included - cars, trucks, etc. Also it would be helpful to have a button to push that would erase the whole scene instead of having to take things one at a time. Did I miss these things?
Imagination and fun in this lovely app!
My 3 year old son really enjoys this app! It's simple and intuitive for him to use while offering tons of different props and accessories. We like to sit together while he is building his scenes and then make up stories and rhymes. This app offers endless fun that boosts childrens' imagintation and creativity. Well done!

Love it
Both of my kids ages 5 & 3 are loving this. I love the creativity it inspires without any gimmicks. Just their imaginations. Quickly seems to be becoming a favorite of theirs. Educational and fun!
So much fun!!!
My daughter and I had loads of fun playing this app on Saturday. She especially loved the feature of recycling everything from the board. Quality time spent over weekend with this quality app.
Love it!
My 3yr old loves to make his own story with this app. We make up story's together too. Sometimes I wander who likes this app more, him or myself. This is a great app!! Four thumbs up!!
