Thank you for giving me the link. My wife will love it. She has made four softies, but still not able to attach the eyes and make softie ears perfectly. By the way from your picture, it seems like you haven’t finished your softie yet.

Hi thanks for the links to the articles and this is a excellent little tip “t is a good idea to make small slits where the eyes should be and then stitch a small circle or square around them” because the area around the eye is forever ripping away !
Thanks alot of this tip and the links to the articles, Kate

Carolann, that is a great idea. I don’t think any kid would want a second dose of that foul taste.

We did this with the kids on a wet Sunday afternoon - it helped to keep them busy and they managed to do most of it themselves.

So by stitching around the slits it will prevent tearing later bt strengthening- never thought of this but will give it a try

Your two points are very important additions to Mochimochi’s tutorial. The eyes really do need reinforcement.

She says kids might swallow the eyes, and with persistence, they probably could. When I make my toys, anything that could be dismembered and swallowed I used to paint lavishly with nail polish to give a very unpleasant bitter taste that lingers in their mouth for a long time after their first attempt. I now use a special product to prevent nail biting called Nibble No More. It’s a cactus extract that is harmless.

Thanks for sharing the article. I think my niece likes to make these soft toys so I’ll get her to read it.

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
