I have a little recent craftiness to share today. :)
Evan has always LOVED play food. We had a big bin of second-hand plastic food that Eric's mom gave us when Evan was still a baby. And then one day at a friend's house, I discovered her "felt food" and instantly fell in love with the idea.
Hand-crafted (with love!) play food made of soft felt. Perfection. What could be better???
Making it myself, of course. :)
There are TONS of ideas for felt food on crafty sites like Etsy - and even patterns for purchase, too. Honestly, I just like to just come up with my own way to put something together - and thus a project for the Fiskars Craft site was born.
You can see my entire HOW-TO article HERE. It covers a few basics to create and start your own play felt food collection with.
Breakfast!
Pizza and Pasta!
and Cookies!
Evan particularly loved the "pizza"...
I'm thinking of turning this into a regular periodic blog feature. Let me know if you'd be interested in seeing more how-to's on other felt-food yummies, right here on the blog. If there's enough interest I'll do my best to throw it into the rotation.
;)
it's funny - at our house C prefers the felt food and L prefers the wood. love these!

Came to your site from a tweet by Jen McGuire! I love this! My daughter just had my first grandchild...she's not quite into felt food yet, but I can see an amazing idea of putting it together for her. LOVE THIS! What about putting some of the pizza toppings on with velcro---that way they could change them! All sorts of possibilities! Thanks for the inspiration!
