Flannelgraph

A "Means of bringing Bible characters and scenes to life by placing felt or felt-backed figures on a felt background.  Some sets have as many as six hundred characters and objects.  Illustrating a Bible story with these finely detailed characters helps to hold the interest of children. . . ."
