Easy way to make custom toys from your kid’s drawing

In the Winter 2005 edition of Kids magazine (previously Martha Stewart Kids) there was an 8 page spread about making toys and stuffies that was all about getting kids to draw a creature and then sewing up a toy from that design. Brilliant!

Kids magazine (previously Martha Stewart Kids) has the best craft ideas and inspiration, including how to take your kids’ drawings and make super custom toys and stuffies they will treasure forever.

Children are always making crazy drawings, and now you can bring these to life with crazy handcrafted one of a kind toys that your kid will love!

It’s as simple as drawing the shapes on paper and then cutting two sides out of fabric, then sewing the fabric together and adding some stuffing.

You can keep it simple or bring it up a notch, depending on your sewing skills and how patient your child is!

These toy making instructions featured in the great craft book from 2013, Martha Stewart’s Favorite Crafts for Kids – 175 Projects for Kids of All Ages to Create, Build, Design, Explore, and Share.

So get crafting and make some wonky toys and fun memories with your children.
