Now they can combine the love of both into one!
Muslin squares ( 6" x 6" or larger)
Markers
crayons
felt
fiberfill
needle/thread
sewing machine( you can hand sew them together)
Using their imaginations, have the kids draw on the muslin using the markers.
Jessica wanted to draw as well. Mom drew a heart on the muslin and we let her color with the crayons. This way smaller kids can still particapate in the activity.
**HINT**
To better hold the muslin down, you can pin the muslin to a piece of cardboard with straight pins in necessary.
Once they are finished with their drawing, pin it to a piece of felt (another option: use a patterned fabric.) This is the backing.
Sew around the outline of the design, leaving a 1" opening for stuffing.
Cut around the sewing line. I used pinking shears, but scissors are fine.
Stuff with fiberfill batting and then sew opening closed.
