How to sew an educational cube for children from 0?
As soon as the baby is born, he begins to study this world. By the age of three months, his gaze becomes concentration, he intensively absorbs everything he sees. By this age, you can sew a developmental cube for him, which the baby will play more actively when he has already learned to sit.
But even at a very young age, such a thing will be very useful for the baby, especially if you name the objects that are depicted on the cube. The child will learn them, understand how each object and animals looks.
This cube is soft and pleasant to the touch, so the baby will not get hurt by it.
It is important to take environmentally friendly materials and tightly sew on the cube elements so that the child cannot tear them off.
To make such an educational toy, you need to take:
- cotton fabric (shreds can be used);
- felt;
- non-woven fabric;
- soft filler;
- Velcro;
- disappearing marker;
- pins;
- buttons or beads for the peephole;
- scissors;
- satin ribbons;
- pieces of green fleece;
- floss;
- rattle elements.
First, cut 15 cm squares out of cotton.
Using the patterns provided, print them out, and then transfer them to felt and cut them out.
The bunny has a round head, the template shows the markings of its muzzle. Each ear has two parts - one white and one inner pink. Make the carrots orange, and the tops for them will need to be cut out of green fleece. To do this, you need to cut it out of a rectangle measuring 5, 5 by 3 cm.
Make the mouse out of gray material, and white semicircles need to be sewn to the inside of the ears. The cheese is made from yellow felt.
Now proceed to cut the next pair - a bear and a cat. The patterns contain the names of the colors to be used. The dog and the squirrel are next.
The dog will have a bone in its hand, and the squirrel will have a hazelnut. When all the parts are cut from felt of the corresponding color, you can proceed to stitching them.
Draw out the features of the face with a water-washable marker. Now embroider them on the bunny's face. To make these parts more dense, put the adhesive non-woven backing, iron it with an iron, let it stick. Attach a black felt triangle to the hare's nose and sew it on.
Draw with a disappearing marker on one side of the cube the face and ears of the bear, Sew here first the double ears, and then the muzzle to which the nose and eyes are already attached.
Raspberries are so semicircular. Embroider the scales on it with black thread, and then sew a green tail up. The raspberries will be double, first stitch the Velcro to the back side, and then sew the Velcro to the cube itself.
The child will be able to glue the raspberries in place by themselves. In the same way, he will attach a carrot for a bunny. But first, you will need to insert felt greens and a ribbon between the two halves of the carrots.
To make greens, cut a rectangle of fleece with fringes on one side.
All characters and food for them are created in the same way. Cheese, carrots, raspberries, fish, nuts, bones must be attached next to the animal for which this food is intended. The child will learn the names of animals and will know what each animal eats.
Now this toddler toy should be assembled as follows. Sew the sides of the cube together, first joining the four sides. Then sew the bottom and top to them.
At the same time, attach the ribbons well to the sidewalls so that they are securely fixed here.
To make the child even more interesting later, place food for each animal not only next to this character, but also near another animal.
The child will quickly master this science, will be able to "feed" with food exactly the animal for whom it is intended.
