Smoke breathing dragons and cute dinosaurs have enchanted and delighted children for centuries. They have been the subject of school classrooms and have been the delight of children on Saturday afternoons, with drawing, cutting, and gluing. Making a stuffed dinosaur turns a lazy afternoon into a fun filled day.
Not only are dinosaurs a fun craft for children, but they are also a great learning tool, and can serve as decoration pieces for play rooms, or bed room dressers. This is especially true when accompanied with clothing and accessories. Children can use them for endless play, but also for learning body parts, clothing, or learning to tie shoes.
This toy is extremely easy to make. Following a few easy steps will provide families with fun entertainment for months to come. To start, just find a pattern from the Internet, craft shop, or book. Visualize how big or small the toy will be, and adjust the pattern accordingly. This can be done very easily with a copy machine by adjusting the size.
Once a pattern has been selected, choose a soft or silky, but firm material. Solid or multicolored materials can be selected. A material such as felt is a good choice. Using fabric scissors begin cutting material in the same size pieces as the pattern. Cut a front and back piece if appropriate. Pin pieces together on wrong side of material for sewing.
Once they are pinned, begin sewing them together. Using a sewing machine sew 1/4 inch on the inside. Sewing by hand is also acceptable. Leave a space of 2 inches after sewing around the edges. In other words, leave space for turning the material, and also for stuffing. Turn the material inside out. Use a long pencil, pen, or crochet hook to push out the small curves of the dinosaur.
The next step is to stuff the material. To do this use poly fill. Don't try to fill the material all at once. Use small amounts and gradually stuff. Use the pencil or other utensil to make sure all pockets of the material are filled. Don't pack it full, leave a small amount of moving room so the arms and legs of the dinosaur can be moved by the child.
Once filled, sew the two inch opening shut by hand. Cut any remaining thread and begin making the facial and body features. To do this use markers, felt material cut outs, cartoon eyes, noses, mouths, or sew these features on the doll. For those that plan on sewing it might be best to do this before sewing pieces together. Sequins and beads can also be attached for a special, and unique toy.
Doll clothing for learning can either be made or purchased in a department store, and should include shirts with buttons, pants with zippers, and shoes with ties. This is especially important for those who plan to use shirt buttons for counting, or shoes for tying. They can also be used for learning stuffed dinosaur body parts, such as eyes, hands and feet, and then comparing to their own.
