Felt desert

I finally made our felt desert to accompany our felt jungle. The animals have been getting impatient.
You can see from the pictures, the only permanent land structures are the sausage-like sand dunes and the water. The repositionable items are the tent (I forgot that in the 2nd picture), the flowers, the various cacti, and of course the animals.
The saguaro cactus has a cardboard roll skeleton. The smaller ones are sewn like little pillows, then glued into milk or soda caps which I'd wrapped with a strip of matching felt. They're, actually, all patchwork because I ran out of green felt, but it made them more attractive, I think. The tent and the flowers are backed with cereal box cardboard.

Several of you have mentioned making these for your own kids. I'd love to see them!

I love the new felt landscape. I will have to make one (or two) for my six year old. I'll send you pictures when I do. The desert is a great idea.

You know you've done a good job when the grownups wanna play, too. Wish I was there.

That is the best, Megan...the best! You're right, the patchwork makes the cacti much more interesting. Now I'm pondering what other landscapes could be sewn....
