This is Little Pipkin's stuffed felt dove, with a love heart wing.
Almost completely hand-sewn (& stuffed) by himself.
This pattern was in our school craft folder, but could easily be re-created by cutting out 2x bird outline and 1x love heart for the wing, in an alternate colour.
I threaded the needle and away he went. Sewing the wing on one side first.
Concentrating hard.
The wing is attached! Now to sew on the second side, leaving a gap for the wool stuffing.
(I am sure you could sew a wing on that side too, depending on your child's concentration span)
Getting the wool stuffing right into the corners.
Little fingers are handy for this (as are knitting needles).
Voila!
I am sure they would make sweet gifts for the Grandparents to hang on their Christmas tree?
