Mermaid Fabric

Have you seen this fabric?

I don't know what the real name of it is but I've seen it referred to as 

mermaid fabric.

It is black fabric with small sequins sewn to it.

It also comes in other colours too.

When you brush against it, it changes from light to dark

or dark to light depending on how it hangs.

I have draped it over our easel so it is different on both sides.

After the children rubbed it over and over they began to refine

their drawing and making letters.

It really drew parents in to explore it with their child.

I bought it at our local Fabricland and it's on for 50% off at the moment.

I think it would be great to make a weighted lap book with this covering it.

Very soothing and calming.
