Felt Food

Last year for Christmas we got my daughter some plastic play food. It was a package of fruit pieces and a package of vegetables. Throughout this year, I've realized what a bad decision it was on my part. These are the problems I have with them:
1. She has no clue what to do with any of it because its just a bunch of fruit and vegetables and certainly nothing you could put together in a dish that would make any sense.

2. We had got her menus to go with it, but the menus have meal choices that she doesn't even have. So when you "order" a milkshake. She brings you a bowl that consists of a mushroom, a lemon and an eggplant. Yummy!

3. They're plastic! She has figured out that she likes to bend them in with her teeth and then brings them to us to fix them. Ha ha. Ya like thats going to happen.

So... when I had to come up with Christmas present ideas, different fake food was first on my list! I decided on making felt food. I'm also considering crocheted food, but I haven't messed with that yet. I have made quite a bit for her Christmas and am planning on adding to it for her birthday and making her new menus with what she will have. Here's what I have made:
pancakes, eggs, bacon, cinnamon rolls and blueberry muffins

Chips and chip bag with sandwhich bread, lettuce, cheese, bologna and tomato

oranges, apples, green beans, strawberries, popcorn, banana slices, crackers with cheese and PB and J sandwhich

chocolate cookies, chocolate pie, Neapolitan ice cream scoops, waffle cone, brownies, sugar cookies, donut


Anyways...
I'd like to share the tutorials that I used to make these awesome felt treats! Sometimes I didn't follow the tutorial completely and did my own thing from looking at pictures.

  1. I really like that idea. You can also just through them in the wash if they get dirty. You should make some and sell them. I would totally buys them from ya. I am to lazy to make them myself!
