Felt People Multicultural - Pack of 30

The Felt People Multicultural - Pack of 30 is a creative and inclusive classroom resource designed to support identity exploration, multicultural learning, and imaginative play. These soft felt people shapes, each measuring 16cm (H), come in five different skin tone shades, making them ideal for creating diverse representations of family, friends, or community members. Children can enjoy decorating their felt people using additional craft supplies such as joggle eyes, yarn for hair, fabric scraps, or embellishments, helping to bring each character to life. The figures can be dressed using custom-made or pre-purchased felt clothing and accessorised with items like necklaces, rings, and bracelets, encouraging fine motor skills and personal expression. These felt people are also perfect for puppet play-simply glue them onto large pop sticks or toilet rolls to create moveable puppets for storytelling, role play, or drama-based lessons. This activity not only promotes creativity but also invites students to reflect on cultural identity, family structures, and individual uniqueness, making them a valuable addition to any early years or primary classroom.
