I "felt" hungry...

...geddit??  Ah okay, maybe not.  Anyway I've become a big fan of making felt food - there's lots of it online if you do a quick google search you'll get millions of results.  It looks great, it's not too hard to make and the kids love having it to play with.  I managed to bag a massive bargain in a local charity shop with a fairly solid wooden toy kitchen for just €5 that my 3 year old (and now my 17month old) love playing with.  The addition of felt food has really brought this toy into it's own.
I'll try and post up some patterns for things but most of it was made without one.  Carrots are two long thin triangles sewn together or one wider triangle stitched up one side, I've tried both ways and both turned out well. 

The Fried eggs were especially simple - cut out two wonky circles of white and one regular circle of yellow, stitch the yellow on top of one piece of white and put a little batting  in if you like, stick a little bit of batting  between them, whip stitch, blanket stitch or plain ole running stitch, around the edges, and voila - a fried egg.  

For the strawberries - cut out a semi-circle of red felt, fold it in half and stitch the two straight edges together, turn inside out and run a row of stitches around the top of the circle, stuff with batting and pull tight.  Fasten off and sew a piece of green felt over the opening - a cicle cut with a saw tooth edge works well.  For an authentic look, embroider french knots in black or brown around the strawberry to mimic the seeds.

I'll try and create some simple templates for the banana, the peas in a pod and the mushroom as they were definitely a little more involved!

And here's the food all packed away nicely in my Daughter's plastic shopping basket:
