Round-Up: Knit & Crochet Toy Food

When I was a child, one of my favorite games to play was “kitchen.” I loved creating food to serve my brother and my dolls, a love that’s translated into a passion for cooking as an adult.

For creative crocheters and knitters, making your own toy food for your kids (or maybe even your pets) can be a fun way to use yarn scraps. Here are a few patterns from LionBrand.com that you might want to check out:

Finally, if you’re looking for something special for that feline friend, perhaps these little guys will do the trick: Fill these sardines with a little catnip to make it kitty’s favorite toy.
