Another great idea from A Girl And A Glue Gun!
My kids are noisy! {I think most kids are built that way.} Unless they are grossly entertained by something. Preferably something quiet. What's more quiet than FELT!!??
All you need to do is make a trip to JoAnnes and buy some felt by the yard...so cheap! I actually just bought the background to the mat and the border by the yard, everything else I just picked up by the sheets (more color options).
This is my daughter's Littlest Pet Shop mat. It's a small replica of her own little town that her LPS toys can live in. The houses on the bottom hold her toys so they don't get lost! Genius!
My daughter loved telling me what include in her town. Things like a garden, and above ground pool, a camp site, a park, the forest, a lake...and of course McDonalds! She's lost in a world of wonderment, which means...quiet time!!
My son's car mat was equally as fun to create! The things he wanted were hilarious, and I tried my best to create them for him. He loves the thing so I think it worked out well.
I love the gas station, but I also love the train tracks and sand dunes. I wanted to go into much more detail but he insisted that it was perfect the way it was.
Ahh...sweet little carrots growing at the farm! Right next door to McDonalds!! What can I say...my kid's love their happy meals!
Best part about these mats is that I hot glued on a strap so they easily roll up and come with us on car trips. It's nice when we go to visit dad in Texas{the downstairs neighbors appreciate it as well}!
Just cut out all your shapes, place them on the mat and hot glue them in place. Leave openings at the top for where your kid's toy will stay {house, garage, tunnel, etc}. Have fun and get creative!
