It turned out a multifunctional hedgehog made of felt. If you sew a loop, there will be a Christmas tree toy. If you make one-sided hedgehogs and sew them to a long ribbon - there will be an original garland.

How to use?

This hedgehog is good as an application for clothes, bags, backpacks. Then a thin felt will do. The nose will be thin, and the sintepon will not be required, that is, the craft will be flat, one-sided.

If you use different fillers from cereals, legumes, seeds, a musical fastener, you will get a developing rattle. Then the filling goes in parallel with sewing. For example, fill the head with buckwheat, sew the hedgehog, fill it with sintepon, sew through two rows of needles, pour the millet and sew up the entire craft. Mom's comments say that even the youngest children willingly play with such toys, because they make different sounds and are so pleasant to the touch.

Then at the hedgehog needles should be long, from a hard felt, so that the "harvest" is inserted as in a pocket. Such a felt hedgehog can be used as a toy for didactic studies, theater performances or as an element of an educational book.

Hedgehog as didactic grant

The child should be surrounded by different toys, then on their example you can show common and distinctive features of appearance in comparison with people. To do this, print templates of hedgehogs and other animals from colorings, cut the parts, translate to felt.

In doing so, you need to think through the teaching task of the manual. If you develop sensory, diversify filler (peas, beans, buckwheat, chickpeas, millet, semolina, dried herbs, flavorings, salt, cotton, sintepon), texture and color of the fabric for additional elements (drape, satin, cotton, wool, fur) , Fixing the "harvest" (sticky tape, buttons, buttons, zippers, ropes).

If you want to consolidate verbal, mathematical, cognitive skills, think over additional elements. It can be a hedgehog made of felt with a heart, vegetables, fruits, geometric figures, mushrooms, flowers, transport ... With these elements, a hedgehog can be "immersed" in a fairy tale, losing psycho-gimmatic or finger games, and physs.

Developmental book

It is a large cloth book with numerous heroes, objects that move and attach to the pages in a different way. Typically, one book is devoted to a fairy tale, a story, and each page gradually reveals the plot. That is why the first carefully thought out action, manipulation of the subject based on anatomical, age, individual characteristics of the child.

Further, the size of the book, heroes, objects is determined. Their patterns are made on different fabrics. In this case, the pattern of a hedgehog made of felt for a developing book can be in several versions for clothing, appearance, growth. Sew all the removable items that are attached to Velcro, buttons, buttons. They help to change the main character. For example, there was a fairy tale about a hedgehog, and became about a chicken.

In addition, inside can be a different filler in texture, sound, smell. For example, inside a peach there is one big seed, an apple rustles, a strawberry is covered with beads-grains. Then on the pages of the book (not yet sewn with each other) have fasteners, ropes with objects.

Example of one book

The younger the child, the fewer pages a book should have. For example, a fairy tale about a hedgehog and his friends. All the morning the hedgehog Temka thought that his friends would give him a birthday present. Perhaps, Bunny is a narwhite of wild flowers, and Mishka will make a cake ... In anticipation of friends, Temka decided to go for fruit.

When he came, friends waited for the hedgehog with gifts. And what was Temka's surprise when Zaika donated fresh flowers in a pot that would please the birthday boy for many years. And Mishka distinguished himself on this holiday by presenting a rainbow carpet. All together, friends drank tea and went to play in the clearing.

Based on the plot, you do in several versions of three characters (a bear, a hare, a hedgehog). Out of felt, the pattern must be in profile, full face, with different emotions. How do you think through the elements? Flowers on the meadow with different fastenings, length of the stem, number of petals or insects. The cake will be with a different filler and removable berries-ornaments. With pot flowers, thanks to the stems-laces, you can change the middle-button.

Developing mat

When you make a book, it takes more time to sew the outer fabric and pads, fixing all the pages to the cover. You can simplify the sewing process and build a developing game mat. It can be sewn seamless or flap. In the first version, you need a cloth for the front and back sides of the rug, lining (sintepon, baby old blanket).

First, on the face tissue have objects, applications. Then sew the necessary elements, fasteners. A single carpet can be any geometric shape, with different in size objects, or it can be a ready image (sun, snail, car, pond, tree, hedgehog). Of the felt pattern, not all of the carpet is made, but individual small parts (parts of the face, vegetables, fruits).

A patchwork mat is a cross-linked uniform square, rectangles, triangles, polygons with each other. Such products are easy to manufacture, as applications, pockets, fastenings are sewn on small pieces. Then the front side of the rug is sewn with a solid lining and the inside.
