Nevertheless, I couldn't resist making some soft animal rattles. I found the pattern for the elephant out of a book I got at the library. This book has lots of great patterns for soft toys, Toys to Sew plus if it uses up scraps and makes toys for relatively free, I am game.
I then adjusted the elephant pattern to make the lion. Steve thinks the elephant is a little creepy because the fabric is so crazy. I guess it does kind of remind me of those psychedelic huffalumps from Winnie the Pooh.
Each toy has 3 bells inside that jingle when shaken. I have enough bells to make one more but can't decide what to do, hippo? snake? giraffe? we'll see.

you're the best mom ever!
they're so cute! i vote for a giraffe, in case you were longing for my opinion, and baby-basket phobia eh? i guess that's okay. We can still be friends. ;) See ya thursday!
You can always wash the toys with the rest of your laundry! Librarians do this all the time with toys & puppets checked out from the library.
