One of the things I wanted to do was to make a stuffed animal for my daughter, and I wanted the gifts to my kids to be "equal" I guess is a good way to put it. So, I tried to think of something to give to my son that he'd like and use. He's not really "into" toys much, but he does like pillows, so I thought completing the panel project I bought over the summer (some might recognize the little guy from Super Savings Saturday over the summer) might work out pretty cool. Especially when I realized that he came with some items to tuck under his arm.
Originally I guess the project came with four items, but buying it used, mine came with two. But, that was okay, because my daughter and I are going to make a variety of things out of felt (shapes mostly) to help my son hopefully (and sneakily) learn some shape recognition while playing with his "dragon" (my daughter's term for him *laugh*).
Total time to complete project: Two hours (mostly jamming in stuffing).
Total Cost to Complete Project: Nothing out of pocket. Originally the panel project cost .50 at the yard sale, so you could count that I suppose. I found my huge garbage bags full of batting out in our storage van, so I used that to stuff him with (sometimes timing is perfect, finding that batting was one of those times).
