MATERIALS:
• Felt (in an assortment of colors)
• Scissors
• Glue
DIRECTIONS:
1. You do not need a sewing machine for this project. Felt is an
extremely forgiving fabric and perfect for cutting and gluing.
2. Free-hand sketch fruits, vegetables, meats, carbs, snacks and
condiments of your choice on different colored felt paper,
see suggestions under “Lunch box ideas”. For each, use 1 felt
square 3” across, or if you would like contrast use 2 different
colored squares, and cut out your shapes with scissors.
FUN TIP: Homemade felt food certainly requires no
embellishment. But if you feel like taking it a step further,
you might like to include fun packaging for your child’s play
food! Place your felt meals in a lunch box or a paper bag based
on the recipe cards. Super easy.
