'Fuzzy Felt, is a popular toy for very young children created by Lois Allan in the UK in 1950.
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, 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.
Long live Fuzzy Felts.
