Summer Escape Room for Kids

August 2, 2022 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

It’s almost the end of summer where I live, but there’s still time to squeeze in a bit of fun (and hey, we’ve still got weekends with kids who need to be entertained, right?).

This escape room plan from Teaching Ideas has pretty basic materials, or things you can buy inexpensively. They lay out all the clues and how to set it up.

The puzzle has six clues but you can always add more if you want it to take longer. The whole setup is described on the blog post, and you can subscribe to get all the printables and instructions. Check out the post at Teaching Ideas for all the details!

Easy Felt Food Pancakes for Kids – A Sweet Pretend Play Craft for Classrooms and Home

These felt food pancakes for kids are a sweet little project for anyone who loves making handmade toys for pretend play. Made from felt, batting, and a few simple sewing supplies, this craft creates a soft pancake stack complete with syrup and butter, making it perfect for play kitchens, classroom dramatic play areas, or homemade gift sets.

What makes this project so appealing is the play value. This is not just a craft that gets made and forgotten. Once finished, the felt pancake becomes part of everyday imaginative play, which makes it a great choice for parents, teachers, and grandparents wanting something practical as well as cute.

This project is better suited to adults or older children who can sew, as it involves cutting felt, stitching the layers, and stuffing the pancake. It is a lovely option for anyone building a collection of felt food toys, and it would fit beautifully into a pretend café, toy kitchen, or sensory play setup.

For more creative projects for little ones, browse the Kids Crafts section on CraftBits. You can also explore the Therapy Crafts section on CraftBits for more sensory-friendly ideas.

These felt food pancakes are simple, charming, and full of imaginative play potential, which makes them a lovely handmade project for kids.
