Broccoli and Cauliflower
I check through the 'images' section on google for 'felt food' to get ideas for new cat toys. What struck me lately was the simple Broccoli pattern that also would work for Cauliflower as well. Not the whole head of broccoli, just florets.
The pictures (one is shown below) look like the people used a green terrycloth for the top, with green felt rolled into a thick stem. I chose a fuzzier green fabric and gave it a try the other day. Basically I got the darkest green they had, cut a 4" circle, gathered, stuffed and pushed in a 1 1/2" x 3" piece of lighter green felt rolled up tight for the stem into the bottom. It turned out looking pretty good.

Here's a picture of the one I found over on Etsy.com. They added a small circle at the bottom of the stem, I didn't.
They turned out pretty nice looking. The same pattern for cauliflower didn't look as nice though.
