FELT! I have been busy busy cutting sewing and stuffing felt to make a felt card table playhouse for my favorite fifteen month old. Claribel played with it for a few minutes before nap time and I know she will have tons of fun in there... So, here we go... picture time!
Front Door(flap that lifts up) with an open close sign and mailbox that opens and has a pocket on the inside for mail to drop into
Ice Cream Shop- I still have novelties to finish that will stick to the velcro (banana split, ice cream sundae, ice cream cones, ice cream sandwiches, and popsicles) There is also velcro on the table on either side of the flower for the ice cream to stick to.
Mail Center- I am working on making letters (I have two each of the colors on the black pockets for sorting). The brown package on the table is a peek-a-boo flap and under the table is a "doggie door" with a large mail pouch for unsorted mail. I have a sorter that will be really excited once I am done with the mail.
The Garden- there are two corn in a husk that fit into pockets on the corn stalk (one is shown), 4 pockets in the "soil" for some beets, carrots, and maybe some onions that she can pick, strawberry bush with removable (velcro) flowers and strawberries, the other half of the tree that wraps around by the front door with two little red birdies that can come out of the nest. I was going to add some fruit to the tree, but kind of forgot about that... I guess I could add it by hand later.
Inside of the house (view from the front door): fireplace, clear frame for a 5x7 photo, vase with flower, curtain over the window at the ice cream shop, table with tablecloth and goldfish bowl with removable stuffed goldfish. The goldfish bowl ended up being one of my favorite things :)
Three pockets for whatever she wants to put in there and curtains for the window on the garden side
I definitely DID NOT come up with this idea on my own... I really liked the house I found at http://homemadebyjill.blogspot.com/search/label/felt%20playhouse (for Christmas, Ray and I are going to make a DIY play kitchen- also a project on her blog)
I also got inspiration and ideas from MissPrettyPretty's shop on Etsy
