Felt Sandwich {Busy Bag Idea}

Happy Monday everyone!!! I’m starting this week off, with another Busy Bag Idea. {Did you catch the others I have been sharing??} With a little colored felt and some imagination – you can make a “fake” felt sandwich for your child too!

My son loves pretending to build the sandwich {and eat it} while I love the fact that I get to teach him objects, colors and names along the way. And don’t think this is just for toddlers either! I’m sure older kids can will enjoy it too!

Our Pretend Play Felt Sandwich craft idea would be great to add to a play kitchen, along with other fake felt food! {which is a tutorial for another day!}

Here is what you need, to make your own “fake” felt sandwich:

Felt Sandwich Craft Supplies:

* Craft Felt {green, tan, white, pink, red, yellow, white, brown}
* Fabric Glue
* Fabric Scissors
* Sandwich Storage Container

I found my sandwich storage container at Dollar Tree in their plastics/kitchen aisle. For a $1 – you can beat it and it stores the play sandwich perfectly!

Directions:

* First decide which pieces you want for the sandwich and pull aside the colored felt pieces needed.
* Next -you can either free hand {or make a template} for the sandwich shapes. Make sure the sandwich pieces will fit inside your container. Then cut out the desired pieces, along with any other extra shapes you might need.
* If you need to – glue pieces together. {Example – for the bread I did brown & white felt. For the tomato, I added some white triangles in the center}
* Assemble and store in sandwich container until playtime.
