Our daughter was given a special little DVD from a friend for her last
disc, the two little traveling sisters, who are Waldorf schoolers, put on a
sweet puppet show with silks and felted wool dolls. Our punky Rowan asked
me last week if she could create a play toy from that “Tulip Babies” puppet
show. Like a bubbling little fountain, she spouted all her exciting ideas of
how we could achieve this, and we started cutting and rolling little tulip
flowers out of recycled felted wool sweaters for the flowerbeds, making
tulip babies, and pillows, teddies, and blankets for the wee babes’ beds…
... oh and a bunch of doting & flitting fairy mothers.
See how cozy they are in their homes above a stream of
happy goldfish? This toy was a treat to make and to give my
daughter… a project using recycled felted wool sweaters,
fabric remnants, wooden balls, pipe cleaners, yarn, etc.
