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.
