Pretend Pizza Parlor

I love pretend play.  No reason you have to spend a lot to have a good looking pretend pizza parlor. Forget those WE B TOYS kind of sets, you can get the same fun with inexpensive felt and dollar store goodies.

I bought felt sheets at the craft store for 39 cents.  The rest of the goodies came from the dollar store or my pantry.

You will need:

2 sheets red felt
1 sheet green felt
1 sheet dark red felt
1 sheet brown felt

From dollar store:
2 sliver serving trays
picnic themed napkins, table runner and plates
yellow string or yarn
paper plates

From my home I used cafe themed towels, shirt boxes for pizza delivery boxes, storage bags labeled with the 'ingredients', spatulas and empty spice jars (oregano and basil).  The nice thing about the spice jars is they still smell like the spice but there is no mess), a notebook for taking orders.

Take the lighter red felt and cut into circles, then glue each circle onto paper plates.  I cut them into fourths for serving.  Cut little circles from the darker red felt for pepperoni, cut brown felt into mushroom shapes, green felt into small strips for peppers, yellow string or yarn into cheese. Store in plastic bags and label with a sharpie. Bon Appetit!
