Rattles with their own hands

Small children always look with interest on subjects that attract attention with bright colors, unusual shapes or sounds. And all this is combined in the rattle, without which it is difficult to imagine the children's room. But interest in such toys disappears quickly enough, so from time to time the collection should be updated. If you do not want to spend money on buying an expensive toy or want to make an unusual rattle for newborns or older children, this master class is for you.

The main requirement for such crafts is safety, brightness, the ability to make sounds. And now more about how to make a rattle with your own hands, using a plastic container from Kinder-Surprise and textiles.

We will need:

  1. Cut out the wings of a butterfly from the fabric folded in half. Sew them by inserting a small piece of dense foil inside. Then sew a hole with a secret stitch. The foil will produce characteristic sounds during a tap to the rattle.
  2. Now cut out two circles of the same diameter and two elongated ovals. Attach the ovals to the circles, and then sew the ribbons (antennae and one more, with which the rattle can be attached to a stroller or crib).
  3. Sew a detail that will serve as a butterfly's body, leaving a hole so that it can be filled with a sintepon or cotton wool. From a small cut of fabric sew a pocket and put in it a plastic container filled with beans, rice or small pebbles.

Embroider butterflies eyes, cilia and mouth, and an unusual rattle with which the kid will have fun in the arena or in the stroller during the walk, ready!

And when the baby grows up, you can make him various educational toys .
