INSPIRED BY FELT

Profile-Pic-low.jpg

Hi, I'm Natalie.  As a Montessori teacher I am always on the look out for practical life resources that are natural, durable and beautiful. I stand proudly behind these products, which have been tested robustly in Montessori environments by children aged 2 – 6 years.

 

My products use NZ Merino and Corriedale wool. They are all natural and handcrafted by skilled artisans right here in Otautahi, New Zealand.

​

I love to make things with felt, and I enjoy seeing the children in my Montessori classroom using my felted materials with focus, purpose and joy. In the classroom I see first-hand how children connect with these learning resources.  Felted wool, with it's soft texture, beautiful colours and durability is appealing to all ages.

 

I am so happy to be able to combine my love for teaching and felting. I feel proud to produce quality materials which are hand made, support local business, and which follow the principles of the Montessori method of teaching.

Tong transfer activities are a wonderful way for 3 – 6 year old children to develop fine motor skills, coordination, and concentration. Holding tongs helps a child to strengthen hand muscles and hand-eye coordination.
