This is the very first thing I ever pinned on Pinterest. I made these for Te-Man over a year ago and he plays with them quite a bit. It is fun to choose a letter and go find things that start with that letter or we hold and trace them while we read his Star Wars Alphabet Book. I also made him a simple little drawstring sack to keep them in.
If I had it to do over again, I think I'd make them a little thicker with either thicker batting or two layers. Other than that, we love them!
Here's the whole Alphabet and numbers 1-10
Here's a close-up so you can see how imperfect my sewing was...this one is probably the worst - as far as my stitches not even staying on the fabric. Sheesh - I must have been in a rush (or since it's a U, maybe I was getting tired of going all the way through the alphabet! haha). Also, if you have a serger you could serge the edges so they don't fray - but I wasn't going for perfect (clearly!) so I didn't mind the frayed threads.
Also, you can see that the batting is exposed, so like always, watch your kids with these. :)
Here's my Te-Man and Wiley Kat's son enjoying some snacks :)
