Ruby adores farm animals of all kinds. She was so excited to make this cute little lamb softie out of a wash cloth. Both of the girls enjoy sewing, but it’s always fun to find a quick no-sew project.
Wash cloth animals are so easy to make!
You’ll need a wash cloth, some felt scraps, accessories for the face and a pom pom tail. You’ll also need a couple of chip clips and a rubber band.
We like using chip clips to hold the wash cloth into place while folding. It makes it a lot easier for kids to hold on to everything.
We’ve created a photo step by step tutorial for you to follow to make it even easier to make your own little lamb. The lamb in the photo is grey. You can make this little lamb in any color you’d like—grey, black or white. It’s up to you!
Can you think of any other animal wash clothes to make? How about puppies?
