The kids love to play on with their kitchen, and I love adding quality toys to their collection. They work hard to make me soups all day long, and you can frequently find Kate carefully carrying two tea cups on tea plates throughout the house.
It recently dawned on me that I can make my own play food. And it is peaceful, therapeutic and fun.
Here are the first two cookies I made. I have improved since then. I plan to add velcro to the backs and fronts so they can stacked and cut.
Our kids eat peas of all kinds like they are candy, so of course I had to make a few so they can put them in their "soups" and stir fries:
Bowtie pasta:
Fry up an egg and put in on rye toast and the kids go wild, so I know they will love to play with this:
Aunt Kate joined in the fun. She made two beautiful doll pillows for Claire and Bobby. After I finish making all the felt food I plan to learn to sew and knit doll clothes, blankets, hats....We plan on adding two dolls to our family for xmas, and I am so excited. There is nothing sweeter than watching Charlie and Kate carry, kiss, feed, and love their dolls.
Happy creating!

wow sarah! way to go- those are great!
Safety alert! Baby Kate could stick her finger into the sewing machine anytime in that picture. No more sewing with kids on laps! As someone who got thier had eaten by an electric egg beater as a toddler I am a bit cautious.
Other than that, the food looks great!
WOW! Love them! I wanna make a doll and stuff too, like a sling, little dipes, etc. Let's collaborate. We need to set this craft night into place for shizz. Maybe we can all plan to have crap to make the dolls by then and start together. Allie has been working on some. BTW, can I get that recipe for tempeh tacos from you? Peace. See you soon. ...Sorry that I have turned this comment into my all-purpose message sender. Let's see...can I think of anything else? Oh yeah, you're a mad worker-outer; was that 3 or 4 days in a row? Ouch, my butt hurts today. Better go, this is sounding really bad. Bye.
OK tara's note is making me laugh. sarah, the food is ADORABLE. i'm so copying you. the pasta is just precious. how much did they love seeing it all? and the idea for velcro is genius. yes! lets collaborate and help each other make dolls, hats, blankets, animals, clothes, slings, and on and on...
