The last few weeks, I’ve had my little sidekick helping me out in the kitchen. From stirring the cooking spoon, to pouring things in to the bowl – he loves the hands on approach. I think I have a budding chef on my hands and I can’t complain about that!

Since my son loves to help out so much and I’ve noticed lately how much he enjoys “pretend” cooking with his plastic kitchen stuff, I decided it was time to add some new felt pieces to his play set to give it a “real” feel.

So you can imagine, that’s how today’s blog post came about. With just some felt, glue and a little imagination – I was able to pull together these felt Cinnamon Rolls & Spaghetti Noodle pieces together in less than an hour {yup – it’s that easy!} It’s pretend dinner and dessert without the real mess but it’s still just as fun! So grab your supplies and follow our step-by-step tutorial below. If you can cut strips of felt, you are well on your way to pulling this together.

Did I mention this can cost you less than $7 total to make??? So what are you waiting for? Get to work! Happy crafting my friends!!!

Supplies:

Felt Cinnamon Rolls:
* Tan & White Craft Felt
* Tacky Glue
* White Puffy Paint
* Scissors

Felt Spaghetti
* Tan Craft Felt
* Scissors
* Red Buttons

Directions:

Felt Cinnamon Rolls:
* First cut your white and tan felt into 1/2 inch strips. For each cinnamon roll you will want 2 tan/2 white strips of felt.
* Place one strip of white felt on top of the tan felt. Put a layer of glue on top and start rolling the felt until it starts looking like a cinnamon roll. Add another layer of felt around that piece to get a good sized roll. Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
* To finish off the craft, add the “icing” on top. This is done by drawing on some squiggles of puffy paint and letting it dry completely before playing with.

Felt Spaghetti:
* Simply cut your tan felt into 1/2 inch strips.
* Place those in a bowl, along with some “meatballs” aka red buttons.
