Do It Yourself: Fabric Pull
Here’s an easy, 10-minute craft for limitless hours of entertainment for infants and toddlers alike! In three simple steps, you’ll have a fabulous fabric pull toy, which is educational on so many levels. Some special things I do to my fabric pull to give it that extra POW!:
- Bold, black-and-white pattern—optimal for infants’ visual stimulation
- Reflective material for baby and toddler to see themselves
- Materials with a variety of textures for texture stimulation
- Compact style makes it an awesome go-to toy for the car or airplane
- Empty cylinder wipes container, washed with the tabs taken out
- Glue
- Scissors
- Reflective scrapbook paper
- A variety of scrap materials
- Thick, rainbow ribbon (optional)
- Black and white material
Step 1
Cut the black and white material to the height and length of the cylinder container. Use glue to adhere the material to the container.
Step 2
Cut the rainbow ribbon and reflective paper. Glue the reflective paper to the bottom of the container. Use the rainbow material around the base of the container.
Step 3
Tie various textured scrap materials together. In mine below, there is cotton, fleece, netting, satin and silky types of fabric.
Voila! You now have a simple, yet fun and intellectually stimulating toy for your child! How easy was that?
