Doll food

[Melissa*Olivia]

Where is a good place to get doll food? All the food I have is from various AG accessories -- it's adorable, but I want MORE!!

I want to know too! I don't have ANY yet for dd's Kit, but would love to find some very reasonably priced stuff. I have a picnic basket for Kit for Easter, but it's empty! [img]confused.gif[/img] Thanks for starting the thread. I will be watching the responses.

You can go to Hobby Lobby or something and make it out of Sculpey or other clay stuff. It's easier, and besides getting what you want, you get the pride of having made it yourself.

DD and I made Sculpey peanut butter cookies a couple of weeks ago and they turned out great. We bought a light brown colored package of Sculpey on sale for $.99 at Michael's. We just rolled up a ball, pressed it flat a bit and then used a toothpick to make criss-crosses. I'll try to get DH to take a picture and post them. Sculpey comes in a wide variety of colors and it seemed very easy to work with. It was a quick and inexpensive craft and DD and I both enjoyed making them.

Craft stores also have mini artificial fruit & veggies. We have purchased carrots, peppers, apples, pears, oranges, grapes, pumpkins, etc. Some items are seasonal. The wedding aisle can be good, too. They have mini party favors that are perfect for dollies. Silver trays, "crystal" baskets and glasses. My girls are always on the lookout for these small items. "Look, Mom! It's perfect for our American Girl dolls."

I'll have to go check out Michael's to see what they have -- that's the only craft store around here.

Does anyone know of a good website that might have some ideas? I will probably need some help with the details, as I have little-to-no crafting experience.

I have two sets of the birthday cookout accessories, and the hamburgers that come with that have the most amaaaaazing detail! I would love to be able to do something even a little close to that. The s'mores from the camping utensils are also beyond adorable!

momemouse beat me to the great tip about craft store foods. [img]smile.gif[/img] These are usually in near the floral supply; people use them in wreaths and other floral decorations.

My mom made a Thanksgiving cornucopia for her doll, full of Fall-related fruits/veggies, and got an apple, too. You can get some pretty accurate sizes in these miniature foods.

I have bought doll food from an ebay seller - food4dolls - that I think is the cutest. Some is a little pricey, but very, very cute. Also - a very nice seller.

Have fun looking at her stuff. . .don't know how to post a link, but you can look her up once you get onto ebay.

Have fun!

At Wal-Mart, they have all kinds of play food with real brand names! Subway, McDonalds, Dairy Queen, etc. Yes it's a little on the big side but because it's child-size it's smaller than real food. I haven't bought any of it yet due to space and money restraints, even though they're not that expensive.

I do have some glass salt and pepper shakers that look like real Coke bottles. I got them from Linens N Things. They're a bit expensive-$2.50 a piece or $5 for a pair. But they're perfect size for dolls.

Click below for a pic of my dolls with the Coke bottles.
