Melissa & Doug, watch out! A few sheets of felt, found at a fabric or craft store, can become a Make Your Own Pizza Kit or Make Your Own Taco Kit for your own child or as a gift for someone else.
My favorite part of this activity, as emphasized by its author, my friend Jackie, in the post on her own site, is that sloppy cutting is completely appropriate.

If this project is too easy and forgiving for you, try this more complicated tutorial for felt ice cream or felt sandwich (with sewing!). If it was too much material and cutting, buy a kit!
Very cute! How old do your kids have to be in order for them to not eat the felt?
Cool idea.

Officially, kids should stop eating felt around age 3. Unofficially, you’ll know your own kid and it may be much sooner. Around 2, Milo stopped putting things in his mouth but we have a friend whose toddler daughter loves to mouth everything still. Dirt? Tiny Legos? yum and yum.
I love felt food there are some great FREE tutorials for them on American Felt and crafts blog. http://americanfeltandcraft.wordpress.com of course there is some sewing there but you can’t have everything right?
