Making soft toys!

This term, our topic is toys.
Here we are making our soft toys.

They are based on books that we have read about different animals.

This group are cutting out their prototype elephants and lions. A prototype is a practise toy. This gives us an idea on how to make the final soft toy and what it may look like.

We stuffed our prototypes with ripped up pieces of newspaper.

We used our prototype to trace an outline on to our fabric then cut out the fabric.

                               

This part was tricky, Whaea Kiri used a sewing machine to sew the pieces of fabric together. They soft toy is now inside out. Here are Hanfiro's and Daisy's Kiwis, sewn inside out.

Here are La'Quinda and Katherine's skinks. 

La'Quinda's skink on the left is inside out, and Katherine's is turned the right way up.

Attaching the eyes.

Turning them the right way and then time to stuff with fluff!
