flannelboard

Sticky fabric display

A flannelboard is a display surface covered with flannel or felt, used especially in classrooms and children's education.

Cutout figures backed with flannel adhere to the board without pins or tape, allowing teachers to arrange and rearrange visual elements while telling stories or teaching concepts: The Sunday school teacher moved paper characters across the flannelboard as she narrated the Bible story.
