Remember when a toy could captivate a child's attention and stimulate their imagination without the aid of a computer chip? We at Babalu, Inc. feel that child's play is important business. Too important in fact, to leave it up toys that quite frankly “do” so much while ironically doing so little.
That's why Babalu created FeltTales - a new line of artfully designed classic felt storyboards designed to inspire young minds. Children ages 3-7 can use the 20+ movable pieces in bright captivating colours to create their own stories and scenes for hours of open ended play. And they're perfect for sharing.
Babalu, Inc. was launched in 2006 to improve a classic toy tradition with the introduction of the FeltTales brand. Its founder, Blair Everett, has an exceptional thirty-year career in the toy business and he brings that knowledge and commitment to the growing FeltTales collection.
FeltTales was created to fill a gap in the toy industry for a classic play medium that builds creativity and promotes quiet play. Each felt Storyboard is silk-screened with exquisite detail. Included is a vinyl storage bag that is both attractive and functional. With each FeltTales feltboard, Babalu have created a short story that is specific to each title to promote interaction and inspire the imagination via fantasy role-play and storytelling. FeltTales is safe, soft, warm, colourful, and tactile as well as portable, wholesome, and respectful of traditional roles and values.
FeltTales is an award winning line of artfully designed two-dimensional storyboards with felt pieces that children can use to create their own scenes and stories. FeltTales promote open-ended play, creativity, and story-telling skills in the crucial pre-school years. During play, fine motor skills and hand-eye are also developed and honed as a child's limitless imagination is stimulated. The concept is simple, and the results are priceless.
More importantly, FeltTales offer much needed imaginative play with "built-in" quiet time in an over-stimulated world.
As an added benefit, the back of each FeltTales storyboard features a special story to inspire the imagination! Mother Goose Toys encourages your child to have fun with Felt Tales.
