Finally Finished… well almost!

This is my version of a felt playhouse for the kids.   (It fits over our card table)

A couple of months ago I saw this awesome post and thought this was the perfect idea for Carter and Emma’s upcoming birthdays.  Especially because after 4 kids it seems that we have every toy that Target and Walmart sell.   I was so close to finishing it by their birthday but ran out of time and ended up safety pinning it together so they could play in it.   Finally after many months it is sewn together and just needs a couple of finishing touches on the accessories.

The front door opens along with the mailbox and they can pick apples off the tree.

The flowers were the only thing not made of felt but they do slide in and out of the grass so they can pick flowers too.

Their garden will soon have carrots in the ground that they can harvest along with the potatoes, and corn.   The basket opens so they can collect all their veggies in a safe spot.

Last but not least is the barn.  The big barn door flips up so they can slip out the “back door” of the playhouse.   The eggs come off and soon their will be a felt chicken perched in his coupe, and a cow and a pig in the side barn. 

This project definitely took a lot longer than I thought it would but once I started I just had to finish!

Emma and Carter love running in and out and playing peek a boo through the doors and windows!
