Se7en Make Mini Hobby Horses…

Sometimes I just need to sit with my little people and make things… well this weekend we needed to do something with those sweet outgrown socks that are just too cute to get rid of. We saw some hobby horses a while back and my little ones thought they were quite magical – so mini-hobby horses it was…

You will need:

  • Socks
  • Wooden Spoons
  • Felt/fabric scraps
  • Wool Scraps
  • Buttons
  • Stuffing
  • Scissors
  • Glue

So we searched through the felt and played in the button box…
