Felt Play Food = Endless Fun

You want to know how much fun felt play food is? My darling son hasn't played with anything else this week. In fact, I've packed up three-quarters of those obnoxious plastic, loud, flashy toys to donate and sell. We started slow and I will be doing more in-depth tutorials for our next project!

If you don't sew, but would like to, I highly recommend starting off with some thing basic like this! Your little one will love it, its good practice, and super easy.

So here is the completed product:



I will post a tutorial for something similar to the milk carton, since it is James' favorite, sometime this week. The carton opens and he enjoys pouring milk for Josh and I as well as anyone who visits us.

In the spirit of brevity, which Shakespeare says is the soul of wit, I am only including a tutorial for making the bread.

Using a piece of beige felt, cut three diagonal leaf shapes. Stitch them onto the middle of a piece of brown felt, like this:


Fold in half, so that the crescents are on the inside, stitch a rounded edge along each open side, leaving a small hole for stuffing. Trim the excess along the edges.





Flip inside out, stuff the hole.


Stitch up the hole and you have a loaf of bread!
