Felt Pizza

Felt Pizza

Materials:

felt: tan, deep red, brown and pale yellow
scissors
46-oz. tomato juice container lid
quarter
safety can opener
thin marker
Tacky Glue (optional)
scalloped scissors

1. To make pizza dough, cut the top off a tomato juice container using a safety can opener (it will curl the lid edges so little fingers can't get hurt) (figure A).

2. For the crust, trace lid onto tan felt. Cut out felt and glue to lid (figure B).

3. For sauce, trace lid onto deep red felt. Cut out sauce/felt with scalloped scissors, cutting just slightly inside the trace line. Center sauce/felt on dough/felt, making sure sauce is centered to show pizza crust (figure C).

4. To create toppings, cut small circles of brown felt to make pepperoni. Small fish-shaped anchovies are cut from grey felt, green peppers from green felt and mushrooms from light brown felt. To make black olives, cut small circles from black felt and punch a hole through the center (figure D).

5. For cheese, cut thin strips of the pale yellow felt (figure E).
