Simple Baby Toy to Sew




When I was carrying Emmy yesterday and pouring chips into a bowl at the same time, she wanted so badly to get a hold of that bag - it makes a wonderful crinkly noise you know.

So I grabbed some fabric squares from my stash and a piece of fabric for the backing, two loops of ribbon for grabbing and sewed up the simply square.  After turning right side out, I took a piece from the chip bag and put inside before sewing the final edge.

She does enjoy both the noise it makes and little loops and it was really quick and simple to make.

    I'll remember this as we have a grandchild on the way. One thing tho' - watch her w/ those loops... I've heard of babies twirling them around their fingers and cutting of circulation since they don't know to untwirl them from their finger. Most ppl I think are cutting the loops but still leaving the ribbon for baby to hang onto & play with.

    So cute! I make these for my babies too, and all my friends' babies. I put cereal bags in for the crinkle. :)

    Love this! I used to just give my little one the empty chip bag(well maybe not so empty) and it kept her busy for quite some time. While it was worth the crumbs on the floor it sure wasn't as pretty as your package. Nice job!
