As soon as I found Benzie Design it has been a regular resource for my wool felt sheets. I absolutely love the quality and colors they offer. 

They offer wool blends in sheets and yards. You can get pallets with coordinating colors like beautiful greens and reds for a Christmas theme. You will also find Bellwether pure wool felt options.

They also have embroidery floss, threads and tapestry yarn. The embroidery floss comes in colors matching the felt sheets which is really helpful when you need an exact match.

Handmade play mats for kids can be a great way to create an interactive and engaging play space for children. Here's how you can make one using felt and fabric just like the ones I've made. Materials: Felt sheets in various colors Fabric in fun prints Scissors Sewing machine or needle and thread Hot glue gun Buttons, beads, or other embellishments Instructions: Choose a theme for your play mat, such as a farm, zoo, or dinosaurs. 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.

Felt is a type of fabric that is made from wool that has been matted together. It is a durable and long-lasting fabric that is perfect for making play food. Handmade felt food is often more realistic than mass-produced plastic play food. It can be made to look like any type of food, from fruits and vegetables to meats and desserts. The details of the food, such as seeds on a strawberry or sprinkles on a cupcake, can be added using embroidery thread or other embellishments. Felt food is stuffed with quilt batting or stuffing to give it a more realistic texture and weight. I typically hand stitch my pieces so you definitely get that handmade look and feel. You might not find these fine details with other play food products. Handmade felt food is also often more durable than plastic play food and is less likely to break or tear, maki...
