I have this amazing plan to make my daughter a ton of great play food, but we will see what I actually get around to doing. She really loves playing with her kitchen we got her for her birthday, so that encourages me more to keep up on this plan. I just finished up some delicious donuts.
I used this pattern. I obviously wasn’t paying attention for the first few I did (note different sizes). I always loose count on these kinds of things! I usually have to write down what stitch I’m on every now and then for when my mind wanders away from counting.
I had them waiting on her table when she woke up from her nap yesterday. She freaked out! She loves donuts. It’s pretty bad. She has such a sweet tooth. We have to keep the stuff out of the house, or I will never hear the end of it. She now has chocolate, cake, powdered, and strawberry donuts. I’m thinking of doing a felt pizza next.

September 4, 2009 at 2:06 pmToo funny. I had a similar plan when my girls turned 2 and I never got passed the diet I am showing here: http://kindershoponline.blogspot.com/2009/03/big-2.html
Your donuts look great and it looks like it’s a fairly easy pattern. Maybe, I will get around soon to make some more food. We will see.

September 4, 2009 at 4:45 pmGreat idea. They toy food you buy in the stores is not as realistic as some of the crocheted stuff. Please post more as you make them. I look forward to see them

September 4, 2009 at 9:36 pmwhat a cool idea. There are some great ideas around the net for play food. I saw a lady make all these felt things like cheese and lettuce and bread so her kids could make different sandwiches.

September 4, 2009 at 10:07 pmfelt pizzas are great for the little ones! they can create and take apart the pizza as many times as they want. really helps with those cognitive and creative skills! (love the doughnuts by the way!)

September 5, 2009 at 6:18 amThanks for the link to the pattern. I always think that I am really going to learn to knit and finish a project but never find simple things….this is great.
Do-nuts are very cute.

Yeah, I just filled it with some stuffing.
