stuffed animal
February 22nd, 2010
Children love to have animal toys around them. They become their friends and sometimes they even talk to them. Making a stuffed animal can be great fun especially when you have your children to help you. You can make one by following these simple steps:
~Pick out the fabric that you like.
~Draw a sketch with a light colored marker of the animal that you like. You can also download a pattern from the internet.
~Cut out two figures.
~Sew the two figures together. Make sure to leave a hole so you can put in your stuffing.
~Turn the animal inside out.
~Stuff the animal with your batting material.
~Sew the hole closed.
~Add whatever details you desire – tails, ears, mouth, and nose.
~Encourage your child to give it a name.
