Questions About Felt

[tea-soaked.livejournal.com]

This is my kid. She will be a year in September.
For Christmas I want to make her some felt food. Something like this:

I'm thinking the felt stuff is better than plastic - and I can make lots of different foods for her to play pretend with...

Do you think the felt that is sold in the fabric store is safe for little kids to chew on? Or do you think I should be looking for something organic with natural dyes? Any ideas where I can get felt with natural dyes?

Also, anyone ever make felt food? Did you use a pattern?

Thanks!
