Parents and children can work together to decorate felt storage baskets. This activity allows for shared creativity and communication. For example, they can choose the colors to paint the basket or decide on the design to embroider. During holidays or special occasions, a family can use a felt storage basket to create a themed decoration. For Christmas, they can fill a red – colored felt storage basket with ornaments and place it as a centerpiece.​

Felt storage baskets can also be used in family game nights. A game can be created where family members take turns adding an item to the basket while telling a story related to the item. As families look for more meaningful ways to spend time together, felt storage baskets are emerging as a simple yet effective tool for family bonding.
