My son is obsessed with pizza! If I would let him, he would eat pizza for every meal. His birthday is coming up in a few weeks. I looked on Amazon for some toy pizzas for him. However, when I saw a few felt pizza sets, I realized that I could just as easily make my own for him. I already had a box of felt and sewing supplies. Most of the work involved cutting out topping shapes. Now my son will be receiving a personalized felt pizza toy for his birthday made with felt, scissors, and a little sewing. You can even customize the toppings to fit the unique tastes of your child!
