Stuffed Art Farm Animals… sorta
Our craft project for Week Two was making our own Barn Yard Stuffed Animals. LOL – I’m not sure they really count as barnyard animals, although Bug assured me his knight was riding a horse so that makes it ok.
We used permanent craft markets on white muslin. I used painter’s tape on the edge so the kids knew they couldn’t go all the way to edge. Once their picture was done, I used a hot iron to help set the colors and then I cut the images out along leaving about a 1″ border. I cut out a matching blank piece for the back (you can cut both pieces at the same time). I sewed the two pieces right sides together leaving about a 2″ gap. We flipped them right side out and stuffed them. I then hand sewed up the open gap.
Hmmm…I see the horse and, ah, a porcupine? Not sure that’s a barnyard animal, but if you can get them in the suburbs, I’m sure you can get them on the farm! Great job, guys!
