Felt Food and O's Play Kitchen

We gave O a kitchen for her birthday last night, and she LOVES it. Elliott and I bought the kitchen in February, and its been in a box in our garage ever since. We were very tempted to give it to her when we bought it, but luckily we resisted the temptation :) My mom and I have been making felt food off and on for the past few months to go with the kitchen set.
bell pepper slices, sweet potato chips, and carrot slices
a tomato slice, red sauce (under the tomato), and lettuce
fried eggs (I think this is my favorite piece!)
O cooked fried eggs for me this morning, and I asked her to make me a sandwich. This is what she brought me- an egg and goldfish sandwich :)
whole wheat bow tie pasta
whole wheat ravioli
pea pods- I made the stuffing into tight little balls so it feels like peas inside the pea pods
sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven. Every time O opens the oven she says "stay back, mama! hot!"
This is another favorite of mine. Tiny goldfish to go with a tiny goldfish cracker box. I'm also working on different colored goldfish to go with a goldfish colors box.
I made a tiny cupcake with a #2 on the top, but its disappeared. I'll post a picture of it when I find it. Also, check out this fabulous felt food!

    I love the felt food you've made! The bow tie pasta is adorable. :) I just might venture out myself to make some felt food to go with my son's Haba wooden food. Fun! Thanks for the inspiration.

    Yes, please tell us where you got the kitchen. It's perfect... all I can seem to find is those two-sided plastic red and yellow affairs. (Which is fine if that's what you want, but I want one like O's!)

    I love those goldfish, what a great job you and your mom did on all the felt food!
    That is such a cute kitchen. We have bought quite a few kitchen accessories from Target too. That particular aisle is usually the only one in the toy department we walk down.;)

    The felt food is amazing. I love the goldfish. I'm hoping my 5 year old will still like to play with kitchen stuff so I can make him some. Thanks

    Hi there - I just discovered your blog tonight - and love, LOVE your ideas! We bought the exact same kitched for our daughter's birthday in Jan from Target - last I checked, they still carry it [Moms who are interested on this post].

    But I never thought about the felt food! Awesome job - I have to get out some felt - wait, I don't think I've ever made anything with felt - I better go buy some just to do this! The pasta, goldfish and eggs are just yummy!

    I love stopping by! Your felt food is fantastic :) You've inspired me to get some of my felt out and start some for my daughter. I would have never thought of putting the goldfish in their little container like that. LOVE it!!!
    Can't wait to see what you share next *grin*

    Now I'm going back to see what you did when she was a year, since my son is about a year behind.

    that is fantastic! bethany sent me here, and i know why! i will make some for my kiddo. i've been wanting to get him some of that velcro food, but i think i can figure something out with felt.
