Sophia’s Felt Food- My Favorite Tutorials

September 16, 2010

For Sophia’s 2nd birthday this year i wanted to give her something very very soft to play with because of the new baby’s arrival! and at the same time she lovessss all things kitchen and cooking. “watcha cookin??” that’s all i hear when i’m in the kitchen. over..and over…and over again. haha. :)
so with the help of my fabulously talented mom…we whipped up some fun felt food! she brought up felt that she had since i was a little girl! so we used up the scraps big and small. already had thread. and only ended up running to Joann’s to get some fun thread for “sprinkles” and other cupcake toppings. 
talk about a budget friendly birthday present!

You can create a lot with just pictures..
so hope the ones we made get you started!


Below I’ve listed some links to my favorite felt food tutorial sites I have come across! for most of them we used the basic patterns found on the sites..some of them you just end up winging it and seeing how it ends up. I was loving making them with my mom.. and sophia loves playing with them! her uncle daniel (my little brother) was genius enough to throw the felt donuts in the air and she thought that was hilarious and has decided that that is now the official way you play with the donuts. throwing them. :)
have fun! and get crafting!
BIG THANKS AGAIN TO THE AMAZING MAMA OF THE BUSY BUDGETING MAMA. :)
ps. this is how i blog now…..haha. on the bed. very quietly. with a sleeping bambino in my lap. :)

    love them! making for my 2 yr old grandchild who just received a little kitchen for Christmas. Just wondering..could these be washed if they get dirty? I know they are felt and wasn’t sure if that would be a good idea.

    Hi, I want to get started making play food for my kids. How do you make the donuts appear to look normal? lol.. Do you stuff anything inside of it? Thanks. I don’t normally sew, but want to try these.

      hey! go for it you’ll find it’s easier than you think! for the donuts…we sew two circles together inside out…leave an opening..and then turn it right side out and stuff with batting material. then hand stitch shut the opening!

        Hi! So a friend and I attempted the donuts last night! Oh my!!! Let’s just say that it took us 4 hours to get 4. 😊😊😂 AND they look nothing like yours, they’re pitiful.

        Would you mind sharing dimensions of your donut circles? Also, what did you use to cut them? Thank you!!!!! I would so appreciate it, so I can start batch two.
