For a quick, but useful baby toy try this. My girlfriend made this and my babies absolutely loved them as did I. Materials- Cotton Fabric Plastic grocery bags (that crinkle) Thread Sewing Machine Directions- Pick a shape for your toy. I use a gingerbread man with ears to make a teddy bear shape. You can just make squares like my friend did. It should be around 5" long or as long as you like. It needs to be able to be held by baby hands Cut out 2 shapes on material. Cut out 2 - 4 layers of plastic bag in that shape also. Pin all layers together. Be careful because they slip. With your machine, zig zag the outside edges over and over until you have a finished edge.
The great thing about this toy is that it is light and easy for baby to hold. They cannot choke for there are no removeable parts. The stitching helps with teething. It crinkles when grasped. It can get washed over and over again.
