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

Developer Response ,

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.
