Betty Lukens Felt Sets Review

Maggie and I have had a lot of fun sitting on the floor together talking about the different sea creatures. Daddy’s subject of knowledge is dinosaurs, so they play with that set together! Maggie has really enjoyed placing the different animals on the felt board and playing “where’s the ***” with me.  Having these felt boards is like having a sticker set that never becomes un-sticky! Ever since we’ve gotten these sets, Maggie has asked to play with them on a daily basis! I’d love to own all of their felt board sets!

Large Deluxe Bible Set

The Large Deluxe Bible Set (their most popular set!)  is a must-have for homeschoolers desiring to teach the Bible to their children and/or for Sunday School teachers. Betty Lukens Through the Bible in Felt English Deluxe Large Bible Sets illustrate Old and New Testament stories. The Large Set is recommended when teaching groups of 10 or more. This set comes ready for you to cut out.

The English Large Deluxe Set includes:

• 600 12″ figures and objects: Includes 12 figures of Jesus, plus men, women, children, animals, buildings, scenery items, tables, chairs, pyramids, tomb, ark, fiery furnace, and many, many more. All pieces come on large sheets of felt ready for you to cut and place into your file system included in this set.
• 3 mounted backgrounds (32″ x 48″) – Water and Sky, Indoor and Purple
• 4 bright and colorful overlays – Hillside, Shoreline, Desert and Throne Room
• Teachers Manual with 182 stories in English
• 2 Box filing system for storing all 600 pieces

This is their most complete collection of figures, backgrounds, and overlays. It will capture the attention of even the most active children!

This set is called “Large Deluxe” for a reason! I was shocked at how big the box was when it arrived at my door. This set truly has everything could ever possibly need to illustrate a Bible story! The 3 backgrounds are huge! (Think of the boards you used for science or social studies fairs in school.)

You’ll get the 3 large boards, plus additionally scenery to add to those boards to make a lot of new and different scenes. Look at the pictures below:

This one (above) is the water/sky scene.

This one (above) is the water/sky scene, but I’ve added on the hillside overlay. It completely changes the look of the board!

There are 3 other overlays you can add in to make a desert, shoreline and throne room!

As you can imagine, with this deluxe set there are a lot, I mean a LOT of pieces! You can’t tell from the picture below, but there are a lot more sheets underneath that bottom picture. Plus, this picture is missing about 4 sheets because I have already cut them out. Just look at all these rolls of felt pieces:

The only drawback to this set is that it does require that you cut the pieces out yourself, and this takes quite a bit of time. I am still cutting pieces out. Normally while I’m watching TV or a movie at night I grab a sheet of felt and work on cutting out pieces, but it is a slow process–I won’t lie.

After cutting them out, there are 2 boxes provided to store the pieces in. The boxes are numbered so that you will know where each piece is located.

This set also comes with a huge Bible storybook. The book will tell you which pieces you need to illustrate each story.  Also, we received a CD that has coloring sheets and activities to use with the stories. It’s great!

Overall, I have been really impressed with the items we were sent! They have all be high quality and I know that we are going to get hours and hours of educational fun out of them! If you’d like to purchase Betty Lukens sets, you can find them at Amazon.com.
