DIY Felt Cookie Set:
This sweet little pretend Cupid’s Cookie Shop was so simple to set up, and kept the kids happily entertained for a long time during a recent snow day when they had off from school. I love how something as simple as a few sheets of felt and bits from the dollar store can make them so happy!! I’m not sure who had more fun — the kids while playing with this, or me while making it! In fact, they were so much fun to make, that I have plans to make at least two more sets for family and friends. Who can resist this much cuteness??
