I would reccomend dish clothes, wash rags, small hand towel, even baby blanket, i think they are called recieving blankets, you can even use sheets. To make them stiff just use iron on interfacing if need to, for stuff like the spegetti. You can use a fabric premanent glue to glue them together instead of sewing. It is non-toxic, the no-sew kind, but read the label to be sure. You can also use cut up pieces of the same materials above for stuffing or you can purchase cotton quilt batting or filling fibers, I have even used cotton balls or facial cotton clothes for filling.
Thank you so much for your recommendations. I’m going to start getting the materials together to se what I come up with :rolleyes: Is there a place where you can find molds to do these toys? :huh: Again, I’m not very crafty and anything like that will help! :yes:
I use cookie cutters for some of my objects, coloring books or clip art, stencils, stuff like that. I can post the ones I have already. I make quilted blocks, and hand puppets. I will post them under activities if I can download the file correctly.
Thank you so much mother of faith! This is great. I’ll be looking forward the file.
I’m waiting for the file to be approved, but in the meantime thanks to
