Every now and then when I'm giving a gift at a baby shower, I like to throw in a little handmade gift; plus, it gives me an excuse to make something. This colorful caterpillar made a sweet, easy-to-make toy for a little one. I seem to remember the pattern came from a copy of the magazine, Country Woman, a few years ago. Since I don't know who submitted the pattern, I can't give credit where credit is due.
The sections are fastened together with Velcro and therefore allows the child to learn to take them apart and put them back together. Also, if you notice, one section's side matches another section's side; another game of learning to match colors.
Give him a sweet little face by embroider, applique, or paint,
and a cute print for his end, and you have a colorful caterpillar, all ready to crawl into fun.
Enjoy, Charlotte
So cute and such a nice gift for a baby!

What a charming little fellow (or is it a sweet little girl?) Charlotte. I know the things you make with such love are a blessing to anyone who is fortunate enough to receive them.

This is one of the cutest caterpillars I've ever seen. It's a really good idea too. A baby or toddler would have lots of fun with it. :)

ReplyDeleteAdorable idea, how cute! What a great gift!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, this little caterpillar is sooooo cute! That would be so fun to make for someone who is expecting.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will take a picture of your stash and post it! Doesn't matter if it's neat or messy... after all it takes all kinds to make the world interesting. Maybe you are one of the ones with a "great wall of fabric" with shelves of fabric that stretch across the entire length of the room. Or maybe you are like me and keep things contained to a few drawers.
That is such a cute idea, I love it. I like to have excuses to make things, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely darling!
