how it works

At Wooly Reads, we’ve made it easy and fun for kids and families to bring stories to life through crafting. Each Wooly Reads kit comes with everything you need to dive into a creative journey alongside a great story. Here’s how it works:

1. Choose Your Story

Every Wooly Reads kit includes a carefully selected chapter book that’s perfect for reading aloud. Whether you’re tackling an exciting adventure or diving into a beloved classic, each book sets the stage for a crafting experience to remember.

2. Gather Your Supplies

Inside your kit, you’ll find all the materials you need to start crafting:

  • Colorful wool roving to create your felted characters

  • Felting needles

  • A felting mat for crafting

  • A step-by-step guide to follow along, with suggested chapters for each crafting step

3. Follow Along with the Step-by-Step Guide

We’ve designed a colorful and easy-to-follow guide to help your child create felted characters as you read. The guide includes suggested chapters for each step, so your child can craft along while listening to the story. However, these are just suggestions! You can craft at your own pace, whether you want to follow along with the chapters or create in your own time.

4. Watch the Video Tutorials

To make things even easier, each kit comes with a QR code on the instructions. Simply scan the code, and you’ll be directed to a video tutorial that shows exactly how to complete each step of the project. This way, you’ll have extra help when you need it, ensuring your child has a smooth and enjoyable crafting experience.

5. Create Your Masterpiece

As your child follows along with the guide—whether by the chapter suggestions or at their own pace—they’ll bring the characters from the book to life with their own hands. By the time you finish the story, they’ll have a beautifully crafted felted character to treasure—along with the memories of the story you shared together.

6. Display Your Creation

Each felted character is a keepsake that can be proudly displayed as a reminder of the storytime memories you’ve made together. Whether on a bookshelf or as part of a collection, these creations will be a lasting reminder of the books you’ve brought to life.
