There are several versions of this felt board rhyme, like one with apples . We love this one the most since we learned it long time ago on our weekly story time program for kids in library. It is very easy to make and fun to play.

For each you will need two pieces, front and back. Usually I make objects using only one layer but with strawberries I went with two.

On a front felt piece I used white embroidery thread for seeds. It is much nicer when you cover back with another piece of felt.

Use green felt for stems and glue one stem on each strawberry. You can use hot glue, but carefully with it.
