 It’s Rhyme Time again, whoop!

Last time we had fun playing Little Miss Muffet, did you see the post?

Now this time we are learning the rhyme ‘Miss Polly had a dolly’!

Dolly comfort pillow  

I had this idea to make a dolly comfort pillow for when my daughter feels sick. It is a bit of a twist with the rhyme: a sick dolly, that got better, making her feel better too!

It is a keepsake too, because I used a pillow she had on her bed before she and her brother shared a room, and the clothes was one of the first she had!

Here is how I made it, and it is really easy too!

A cylinder type pillow(you can use a small rectangular one too):

I cut a beige felt oval:

  felt face  
Then sewed on two eyes and a mouth(one can draw it too, no need for sewing). It was quite tricky getting it symmetrical!

I used brown wool for the hair. These were glued on with a glue gun. Four strands of wool and then separated each strand to get a softer look:

  face sewing  
I also glued the face onto the pillow with the glue gun:

The clothes went around the pillow dolly, with the arms tucked in, out of the way.
