Glitterful Felt Stories BlogHer '09 Scholarship

Glitterful Felt Stories loves bloggers and have decided to host a BlogHer '09 $100 scholarship! One lucky blogger will win $100 cash to take with her to BlogHer '09. Since I recently got a ticket to BlogHer, I am in desperate need of scholarships! I'm a little behind the eight ball because of getting a ticket so late. With this scholarship I could pay for the Momdot blogger dinner that I plan on attending, or I could put it towards my hotel room or even airfare. So many things I need this money for.


At Glitterful Felt Stories you can find felt stories based on books, numbers and math felt sets, glove puppet with felt sets, and fingerplays & songs. I know first hand how hard it is to get kids interested in literacy and I personally love the idea behind this product. Promoting literacy in a fun, educational, and interactive way always get's an A plus in my book.

Want to know about Glitterful Felt Stories!

Shelby Barone is the founder and owner of Glitterful Felt Stories. She has an amazing passion for literacy in young children. She was a preschool teacher for over ten years, and has her degree in Early Childhood Education. During her time teaching her passion for literacy began. She was able to see how much young children can benefit from reading and the use of felt stories. She has been creating and donating them to local schools, teachers, churches, libraries and charities since 1995. It was not until the past couple of years that she started to sell her felt stories to help with the cost of her youngest son Tyler's medical expenses, who suffers from a life threatening disease called Neutropenia. . The charities loved how she created her felt pieces using glitter and sparkles to help catch the children's eyes, that they started calling her Glitterful Felt Stories! Glitterful Felt Stories still donates most of their inventory to local charities. Their goal is to get children excited about reading....one story at a time!
