Making our own felt slippers!


Today Team Tekau each made their very own pair of felt slippers! We had lots of help from some fantastic people, including Mr Willoughby and the Super 15. A huge thank you to Mr Brian Hales for donating all of the natural wool from his farm! We had so much fun and are so proud of our unique new slippers to wear in our shoeless classroom during winter! It was a challenge and were learned some amazing techniques.
First we had to get our template.
Then choose our wool colour.
We started our layers.

Continuing to criss-cross our layers.
Mr Willoughby starts soaping the inside after we have cut the foot hole.
 
 Mrs Perry models how to mould the slipper to the persons foot using soapy water.
Everyone loved getting a foot massage!
 A big thanks to the kids from Super 15 for helping us!
 Alex models her (almost) finished slippers.
What a GREAT day!
