Gifts for 1 year old / Beanbag animal patterns?  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I am suddenly realizing that everything I am making or have purchased isn't really age appropriate for my nearly 1 year old. I am thinking of doing some beanbag animals. Does anyone know of any tutorials or patterns for these? Does anyone have any other ideas for 1 year old appropriate toys?

So for for my christmas presents we have...
Dollhouse
Quilted farmyard playmat
Animals for the farmyard
Nesting houses??? for barns for the farmyard
Dancing Rain "My baby" for my 2 year old. (Planning on making one of these for DD2's January Birthday.)
2 imagiplay puzzles (cat & dachshund)
Little Star Baby for DD2

(My grandpa has also made wooden blocks for the girls. Grandma is also looking for some kind of accessory for these.)

Here is a link to a lot of toys that the ages can relate to. And they are educational and not recalled!

I just made the purl frog! Literally toke me 45mins start to finish! It is super cute! I filled it with rice instead of the buckwheat, or beans that they suggested, so that I can microwave it for boo boos!! Thanks again, 54Mama!

Thanks SouthernMommie, but I am really trying to get away from plastic. Not because of recalls but because I prefer my children learn from natural materials. (PS- You are due on my DD2s 1st birthday!! )
