Woodland Creature Project

Our monthly Kiwi Crate arrived yesterday, and usually, we wait a week or two to bust into it so we don't use up all the crafty fun too quickly, but today, we threw caution to the wind and just went for it :)

Enter...cutie-pie, felt, cotton-stuffed woodland creatures (that's their official name).

It's the kind of project I luuuuurv, because it's easy-peasy, with no paint or glue or messy components involved. But plenty of sticker parts to keep Chica entertained in the construction process (and Chicklet challenged in the destruction process--ha).

We just started with these fun, felt animal shapes...

Then started adding eyes, ears, mouths, wings, feet, spots--you know, all the good stuff--from the included assortment of sticky-backed felt parts...

Chica started out all precise, but by the end, she was just determined to use every, single part included--even if it meant layering several up, ha.

And of course, Chicklet got her grabby paws in there, too ;)

Next came the uber-fun part: stuffing!

After they were good and plumped-up, we just had to close the flap that had a sticky-strip already placed, and then we added a string and clip to the top, as technically, the little guys are meant to be clipped onto a zipper or what not.

They're pretty dang cute (this one is Chica's fave), and the felt parts are just sticky enough that it'll take Chicklet a few days to completely destroy/dissemble, ha.

Another thumbs-up project.

Gotta say, we're probably about a year into our monthly Kiwi Crate membership and I can't see us stopping anytime soon.

They're almost always super fun, easy and not overly-complicated projects, and thus far, haven't even come close to being repetitive. And, they always involve enough parts to make duplicates--a major bonus for crafty siblings!

Win/win/win!

Happy My-Baby-Boy-Still-Hasn't-Decided-To-Come-Out-But-His-Days-Before-Eviction-Are-Numbered Thursday, peeps!
