  1. These are so sweet, I especially love the mermaid tail one. Much better than freezing fingers or a bit of kitchen roll which is the best I ever managed for our kids when they were small!

  3. where did you buy your neonrene? I'll be teaching about 8-10 children and this is a great idea. But I think I only need 2-3 sheets. Did you buy sheets the size of felt squares? Or do you have a large roll?

    1. You may need a sheet per student depending on how big of neoprene sheets you purchase. You can get squares on Etsy. The link under "materials needed" in the tutorial will take you to the shop I used.
