Felt Boards

i don't have a problem with the #120. You do want to put things on and off and not scrape them down the board but the #150 does. At the same time there are times you want something that will stay on such on as you move other pieces so it is worth it but be careful with them.

You can also buy the sandpaper in packages of 3 to give it a try.

Compared to velco even the #150 is more gentle on your feltboard.

Peel and stick felt comes in 9x12 sheets at michaels or fabric land.

It is a lot messier but you can also use the permanent spray adhesive. Spray the back of your figures and then lightly spray the piece of felt too. When they get tacky ie give them time to set then place together. Spraying both makes the adhesion stronger. Let dry and then trim.

I have very limited storage space and no dedicated "playroom" to leave out daycare equipment so I bought a magnetic whiteboard at Costco and covered the back of it with felt. The board can be hung on the wall for independent play or I will use it on my lap for group activities. We use the felt side and the magnet side equally (the kids seem to like magnets better, I love felt) and when I want it put away it slides in the space between my fridge and counter.
I love the idea of an easel with a felt board on one side, but we don't have room for an easel
