We now have some extra help to get packages out the door. This means faster service, more timely responses and more products.

Each item is carefully inspected and only our best products get sent to you. We are now sending out packages within a few days of your order.

Many of you have asked if "everything will be made into a kit?" The answer is yes! We are working to make kits available for every Lilly Bean product. We will try to release 1 or 2 new kits a month. If you have a suggestion for what you might want to see next, post a comment or send me an email :)

We are now releasing our Make it yourself Chocolate Cake kit and our Make it yourself Peanut butter Kiss cookies and Black and white Sandwich Cookies. Happy Sewing!

Also, I just uploaded a new Youtube video. Head on over to the Lilly Bean Play food Youtube Channel and check out How to make a Lilly Bean Felt Fish. Don't forget to watch Part 1 & 2.

New Spring Veggies!

It's time for spring and in celebration Lilly Bean is introducing two new veggies! Our awesome Asparagus is available in a set of 3 and is just too cute! Our radical radishes are fresh from the Lilly Bean garden and ready for picking.

*Lilly Bean Hint - Play food is a great way to introduce your child to unfamiliar foods. Playing with toy asparagus and radishes can help prepare them for when you decide to serve it with dinner.

Tea Time anyone!

Yes, Lilly Bean is known for our fabulous felt food, but today we are introducing something a bit different. Hilary (the creator of Lilly Bean) has pulled her grandmother out of retirement to create some very special ceramic tea sets. Jana Seabolt has spent much of her life as a ceramics artist and we are happy and proud to bring her into the Lilly Bean market to show off her wonderful talents. Each piece is poured, fired and delicately hand painted with expertise and care. These are sure to become something you and your child will cherish.

*Please note that these are ceramic and are better suited for children over the age of 5.

Icecream is Back! Just in time for spring!

I scream! You scream! We all scream for ...felt icecream!?! I know all of you have been missing our beautiful (non-messy) icecream cones. Well we are bringing them back just in time for spring!

Amish Baskets and Super Sets

As many of you are aware, Amish seamstresses help me create Lilly Bean play food. The Amish are also well known for their awesome craftsmanship. I am now carrying Amish baskets at my Lilly Bean Market web store. All of the baskets have been made by hand! I will start by carrying 2 different baskets. The first is a Market Basket (which also makes a very nice Easter Basket that could be used year round). The Market Basket features sturdy wood construction and leather handles that snap together at the top. This basket is great for play food and real food alike! Right now I am offering a Super food set that includes everything you see in the picture below.

The second basket I am offering is a mini picnic basket. This basket also features sturdy wood construction with 2 wooden handles and a snap on wooden lid. This basket nicely fits a sandwich and 1-2 sides. It is beautifully hand-crafted of high quality materials.
