Kid Animals

I finally got the knack of how to design stuffed animals: outline plus belly and head. So Owen and I sat down to make some. He chose the animal he wanted to make, we looked up pictures on the internet, he drew the outline:(as the Elephant looks on)

I created a belly and head piece to make the full pattern and sewed and stuffed under his guidance. (Giraffe stands next to his former self)

I love the kooky personality these kid-designed animals have.
At the end of the day we had made a giraffe, monkey, bunny & octopus. I am often reminded that we haven't yet done the toucan or koala. Someday soon...
