The book is now available online in soft cover!


In the 1990’s, kids went crazy over small stuffed animals.  I know my kids did.  These toys became collectibles overnight and every child needed to have at least one of each kind or his world might come to an end.

With TerryGami washcloth crafts, kids can create their own critters for a fraction of the cost and they will be learning more than how to be a consumer.  They can learn how to follow instructions, how to sew, and how to shape and mold washcloths into an animal or holiday ornament. It will help to foster their creativity and improve their dexterity to boot. 

To make the project even more fun and unique, why not add a music button?  They cost about a dollar online, which still keeps the cost way below the collectible’s price.  With the Halloween and Christmas sales about to start, they may be even less expensive. It is an easy guess as to what Christmas songs to put in the snowman, reindeer and Santa!  For the angel, how about "Angels We Have Heard on High"?!

By the way, to make smaller critters or ornaments, use smaller washcloths.

Happy Crafting!
