Fuzzy felt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fuzzy Felt was a popular toy for very young children in the 1950's created by Lois Allan of the UK in 1920. The toys consist of a flocked backing board onto which a number of felt shapes are placed to create different pictures. Felt pieces can be simple silhouettes or more detailed printed shapes. For a farmyard scene, for example, auxiliary pieces would typically be cows, sheep, chickens, horses, cats, dogs, a farmer, and a tractor. Other scenes might include hospital, pets, vehicles. Fuzzy felt is for children over the age of 3 years as the pieces may present a choking hazard.
