Baby Toy! And its “green” too!
Why does it seem like like if one friend is pregnant, there are three more as well? One of my best friends, my cousin and two other friends are all pregnant and due around the same
time (this fall). I’m happy with my three kiddos but enjoy it when others have kids because it lets me get my baby fix without the late nights and diper changes.
The best thing about friends having babies, is getting to give them gifts! Even the older babies are still so much fun to either buy for or craft for.
With Earth Day coming up next week, I found this post for a “crinkely” baby toy that reuses the plastic wrapper from wipes. I would have never thought to use this for a toy but it is BRILLIANT! My kids, plus the dog as well, always loved the noisy, crinkley toys when they were little.
Susan Beal over at Craft Stylish has given us guidance on how to create this toy for your favorite kiddo*.
The best thing is, you don’t have to make an owl if you don’t want to. I see me sneaking noisy wrappers into all kinds of shapes of stuffed toys for kiddies over the years. I could even ask my youngest kid’s pre-school teacher to keep the wrappers for me since she goes through so much with the young ones who go there and the many uses for them.
With recycled, or reused, fabric this could be a fun and green craft to do.

*Let the record state, that me giving a child a gift of this sort does not desinate them as my favorite nor do I love one of my own children more then the others.
