Tooth Fairy Pillows and Door Hangers

-
A bit of a throwback for me. Pretty early on I created these tooth fairy pillows.

These pillows were made with white felt in the shape of a tooth and stuffed with poly-fil stuffing. I used black non-toxic fabric paint to create a smiley face on one side of the tooth. I added a pocket on the other side using another color of felt and stitched it all together in a coordinating embroidery floss in a blanket stitch. 

Then more recently I created these tooth fairy door hangers. Believe me when I say the tooth fairy loves these. These are much easier for the tooth fairy to access and there's less of a chance she will wake up the child during the tooth swap. These door hangers were made with fun with print cotton fabric and ribbon. I also included cute tiny little bottles to keep the tooth safe until pick up. 

Tooth fairy pillows are often given as gifts for young children who are just starting to lose their baby teeth, and they can be a fun and exciting way to celebrate this milestone in a child's life. They can also serve as a cherished keepsake or memento, reminding the child of their childhood and the magic of the tooth fairy.

I have just a few of each style still available in my shop. Head on over to pick one out today!

You could even sketch out a rough design on a piece of paper. Cut a large piece of felt to serve as the base of your play mat. The size will depend on your desired finished size. You could use a 9x12 sheet that's already cut. Cut out shapes and details from felt to represent various elements of your theme, such as animals, buildings, or vehicles.

After working on quiet activity books I ventured into making small interactive play mats. Basically a single page from a quiet activity book that can roll up for traveling.  Handmade kids interactive play mats are a type of play mat that is designed to engage children in imaginative play. These mats are typically made from soft, durable materials like felt, and feature a range of colorful designs and patterns that are meant to spark children's creativity and imagination. One of the key features of play mats is that they are designed to be interactive. This means that they often feature elements that children can manipulate or play with, such as finger puppets, zippers, pockets, or flaps. These interactive elements can help to promote fine motor skills, problem-solving, and imaginative play. Some examples of handmade kids interactive play mats include: Cityscape play mats, which feature roads, buildings, and other elements that children can use to create their own urban landscapes.

Making a quiet activity book using felt can be a fun and engaging project for both children and adults. Here are the steps to create a basic quiet activity book using felt: Gather materials: You will need felt sheets in different colors, scissors, a ruler, a pen or marker, and a variety of decorations such as buttons, snaps, and Velcro. Maybe even consider some scraps of fur or leather or other materials for texture. Plan the pages: Decide how many pages you want the book to have and what activities you want to include. Some ideas for quiet activities could be matching shapes, counting games, or even a felt version of tic-tac-toe. Cut out the pages: Using the ruler and scissors, cut out the felt pages in the desired size and shape. Make sure to leave a small margin around the edges for sewing or gluing. I actually use a whole 9x12 sheet as a page. Add decorations: Use the decorations to add visual interest and texture to the pages. For example, you could use buttons to crea
