Fabulous Adorable Felt Play Food Toys
March 2nd, 2010 | 
Author: I’m in the midst of shopping for my daughter’s birthday and boy is it hard to make a choice!
Some background: Back when I was a new mom I thought it was great to get that cheap plastic and cardboard play food in great quantities. Fast forward 3 years and we have had a ton of it that was just finding places to find around the house. One of those cases of quantity not quality.
So we had little talk with our Peanut and made the decision to donate our excess of pretend dishes, food and such and replace it with just a few pieces of well thought out pretend food based on how she plays. She says “Okay”.
Our daughter has this great love for Thanksgiving. Ever since her school program spent a month going over the Pilgrims, Native Americans, being thankful etc she prepares Thanksgiving dinner on a daily basis for her stuffed animals.
Sooo…
We decided to get some play food for that meal and some new dishes. You see her previous set included 2 teapots, about 8 plates maybe more, several pots, ice cream cups, regular cups, a juicer, a pitcher… really it goes on but there was so much I’ve forgotten all of them. Her kitchen set, which we spent more thought on, came with one stock pot and a ladle which we are keeping.
Now after browsing around I found myself on Etsy again (I love Etsy, people are sooo talented) and fell in love with felt food. This is not my first time seeing felt food. My aunt has several books laying around with it in there and has been trying to get me to make some to no avail but this time it spoke to me. So cute and fluffy. All the lovely things you someone else can make. It’s so beautiful.
So I’ve already ordered the main dish from mudpiekids…
We’re discussing dessert. She REALLY likes pumpkin pie so mommy24cs is looking good for this…
And The Birch’s Perch Shop has adorable crackable eggs, peeled bananas and shucked corn I have my eye on.
As tempted as I am to overindulge and get Breakfast, and lunch, some fancy desserts and more I think this will keep Peanut happy for some time and I really need to try my hand at making some (right before posting this I made a very ugly pancake with a pat of butter and some syrup).
If you’re looking to buy some felt food ,besides Etsy (which I think has the best), you can also find felt foods at…
Or if you’re creative and talented you can get patterns and supplies to make your own felt play food at…
