Handmade fabric toy ideas: toys that make babies happy

building blocks

Building blocks are toys that let you enjoy all sorts of play—stacking them up and knocking them down.

With pictures or letters on them, colorful designs, and various shapes, they can be enjoyed for a long time.

How about making those blocks out of fabric? Since blocks are often made of hard materials, it can be a bit worrying to give them to children who don’t yet understand that throwing them can be dangerous.

But if they’re made of fabric, you can relax! Try making them with cute, colorful fabrics.

Stuff the inside with cotton, and if you want a firmer base, add a layer of thick paper at the bottom.

Easy Long-tailed Tit

[Beginner] As simple as possible! [How to make a Long-tailed Tit]

This is about making a long-tailed tit, notable for its white and soft appearance, using faux fur fabric.

The key points are how to make the most of the fabric’s softness and how rounded to make the final shape.

You’ll cut the fabric using a pattern, sew the pieces together, then stuff them with filling to create a round form.

Since you’ll combine the body and tail before adding the stuffing, it may be important to sew while keeping the final shape in mind.

It’s also interesting that the impression changes depending on how much stuffing you use.

Let’s play with dice made from fabric or felt! You’ll need fabric or felt in various colors, stuffing, a bell, needle and thread, scissors, and a template.

Make the six faces of the die in different bright colors, and add patterns like animals or other motifs to each face.

How to Make Fabric Dice That Even Babies Can Enjoy

When it comes to dice, most are made of hard materials, so you need to be careful when using them around infants at home or in daycare.

But if the dice are made of fabric, infants can handle them like a ball or a plush toy, right? Families with older siblings who want to play with dice should definitely try incorporating them.

In the video, the pips are made with star motifs, but you can customize them with animals or other designs, so creating a one-of-a-kind set of dice could make for a lovely memory.

Pay close attention to details like the size of each part and the colors you use, and craft it with care.
