Before I became a mom, I never really gave much thought to the items around my house and how they would feel if they were thrown (perhaps accidentally) at my face. Wooden spoons, the cardboard part of a paper towel roll, robots, Spiderman, sippy cups - you get the idea.
I'm pretty much convinced at this point that I gave birth to some sort of baseball pitching phenom. Not sure how this happened - I'm a band/ choir/ theatre nerd and the Hubs played with his GI Joe's up until at least his freshman year of high school... so, not a sporty family.
Anywhoo, since Mr. Toddler Pants likes to throw everything like he's throwing out the first pitch at a Yankee's game, I thought it was high time to make him some soft toys that he can do some serious practice with.
Felt Sushi!
These were super duper easy to make... here's how...
Start with giant pile of felt scraps...
Cut out a few pieces that are all the same width - they can be any length - depends on how much of each color you want in your sushi roll...
Then the fun part - roll and glue... roll and glue... roll and glue...
Voila! Sushi Rolls!
Oh, and the best part? These can totally hit me in the glasses and it doesn't hurt a bit...
