For those who didn't catch it on my regular blog, here are the links to the tutorials I used for the felt campfire and s'mores:
I will start with the roasting sticks and the
marshmallows. There are all kinds of ideas out there, including using
dowels for the sticks (not a good idea, I thought) but this is the one I
settled on:
Felt Marshmallows and Roasting Sticks. The sticks are actually chenille stems (pipe cleaners) wrapped in felt casings.
All of the photos below are by grandson Sam, age 11:

 |
| This shows the drawback of using chenille stems -- maybe a little too much bendability. |
 |
| But, on the upside, they do look like real sticks. |
 |
| Just like around a real campfire, some are toasting marshmallows ... |
 |
| And some are munching s'mores. Others are just waiting their turn! |
The campfire, logs, graham crackers, chocolate bars, and melted marshmallows all came from this tutorial:
Felt Campfire and S’mores.
As you can see, the campfire is in two pieces so it will be two-sided and three-dimensional.
The only part I had to sort of figure out on my own was the campfire
ring of felt "stones". In retrospect, I sort of wish I had attached the
stones together into a ring shape, but I felt it would be more fun for
the kids to "build" the fire ring for themselves.

Hope you have enjoyed this look at the felt campfire and accessories.
It does make a great group gift for siblings. For more felt ideas,
