So one day I was watching them and decided that I wanted to make them some magnets. After lots of thinking and planning and some design help from my friend Daws, this is what I came up with...
I used a basic circle as a starting point, then morphed it into each animal. I liked the idea of combining material and felt for texture, so each animal has a felt feature. They are lightly stuffed with polyfil so they are soft and easy to grab, and I sewed ittle magnets on the inside back so they are "chew-friendly"!
As you can see, they have been very well received...
