‘Twas the Night Before Christmas: Printable Felt Board Images

Below are some neat ideas for using the characters and objects from the holiday story of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas to create feltboard images to play with.

Here are some ideas for using basic felt board characters:

Use the sheets as...  PUPPETS

• Either print the black and white sheet to color
  OR
• print the color page
• Cut out each image and tape it to a popsicle stick or an unsharpened pencil.

Use the sheets as...  FELT BOARD CHARACTERS

• Either print the black and white sheet to color
  OR
• print the color page
• You can cover with clear contact paper or laminate if you want them to last longer.
• Cut out each character.
• Cut out a small piece of coarse sandpaper and tape or glue it on the back of each character (if you laminated, it will need to be a larger piece of sandpaper).  The sandpaper will allow the characters to stick on your felt board.

Templates:

• After printing, close the template window to return to the main page.
• If the template doesn’t fit on one page, adjust your printer margins:
  • In most browsers: Print → More settings → Margins → Minimum
  • Or use Page Setup / Printer Setup in your printer dialog
