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…
I think this may have been the best part – hauling all the goodies out!!!
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…
And then everyone was ready to start…
With some serious stuffing…
Then some serious glueing… ears and eyes…
But a horse needs whiskers…
Now that your horses head is ready…
You just need your wooden spoon…
Tie a ribbon round it…
Some last minute fixings… a smile and a nose!!!
And our horses we ready…
For hours and hours of play…
Too cute. I bet they had so much fun making them…and playing with them as well.
I just love this idea. They turned out to be do cute! I know my boys would love to make one too.
What a great idea, they look fab and the girls all look very pleased with them. I’ll have to try this at home, I found my son using a paint brush as a hobby horse the other day.
Hay Cheryl, I think we all had quite a bit of fun making them and days later they are still the number one toy!!! Hope you are all having a fun week!!!
