Pumpkin Pie - DIY Felt Pretend Play Set For Toddlers

Pumpkin Pie - Felt Pretend Play {Busy Bag Idea}

Did you catch our Apple Pie Sensory Bin post the other day?

Well – continuing on with pie making and Thanksgiving theme, today I present to you the simple tutorial on how to make a Felt Pretend Play Pumpkin Pie. After all – dessert is really important this time of year!

You don’t need any special tools or supplies to pull it together BUT your little chef can have hours of elaborate play with this set! All you need is some felt, pie pans and of course the pumpkin, aka tons of orange poms poms.

Now are you ready to “bake” this one up and “serve” it to your kids? Enough play on words from me – let’s get to work on creating these! Shall we?!

Felt Pumpkin Pie Craft Supplies:
* Tan Craft Felt
* Orange Pom Poms
* White Poms Poms {for the whipped cream of course!}
* Mini Aluminum Pie Pans
* Scissors
* Sharpie

completely optional but fun to add – baking tools like spoons, bowls, plastic eggs, etc

Directions:
* Using one of the aluminum pans, trace some circles on your tan felt. {two for each pie}
* Trim those circles out. If desired, cut out a decorative shape in the center, of half the circles {to really give the look of a baked pie top}
* Now you are ready for the assembling. Kids will put a felt circle inside the pie pan, then some orange pom poms, topped off with the other felt piece and then the “whipped cream” white pom pom.

For added fun, pull out kitchen baking supplies and really let your kid at it. To change up this pretend play, grab various colored pom poms to create other pie variations. Think red for apples, green for key lime or even just multi colored for fruit pie!
