Get your kids involved in making their own felt tacos and pair them afterwards with some story time.
CRAFT SUPPLIES:
- All you need for this DIY tutorial is inexpensive craft felt sheets {most importantly a nice shade of tan for the taco itself!} and basic craft scissors. That’s it! Two simple materials!
DIRECTIONS:
- For each felt taco shell, I just cut out a simple large circle that could be folded in half {You can use a plate or pie pan as a template. Simply flip over and trace with a marker to cut along.}
- Then for the felt taco toppings I just cut the remaining colors into thing, rectangular strips. These don’t have to be perfect at all and you don’t need a whole bunch of each either. Yellow for cheese, brown for ground beef, red for tomatoes, green for lettuce etc.
- Now that’s it! Time to build. Kids can pair their pieces together however they like and because it’s felt, the pieces typically stick together and it’s just like the real thing!
- When done playing, store in a large plastic zip lock for safe keeping.
