Kids Needle Felting Workshop! A fun time off during break!

In this hands-on needle felting class, students will explore fiber art while connecting with the farm environment around them. Using wool from sheep and other natural fibers, participants will learn how to shape and sculpt wool into small felted creations using special felting needles.

The class begins with a brief introduction to wool—where it comes from, how it’s prepared, and how fiber has been used throughout history. Students will then learn basic needle felting techniques, including shaping, layering, and adding details, before creating their own farm-inspired project such as an animal, nature figure, or small decorative object.

This class encourages creativity, patience, and fine motor skills, while also reinforcing an appreciation for natural materials and farm life. All materials are provided, and students will take home their finished felted piece.

Skills learned:

• Basic needle felting techniques
• Working safely with felting tools
• Creative design and problem-solving
• Understanding natural fibers and their farm origins

Best for: Kids ages 11+ who enjoy art, animals, hands-on learning, or trying something new.
