Toys are something that attracts both adults and children, they are completely different and for different purposes.
DIY fabric or textile toys are some of the safest and most attractive types of toys for children. They can be played by children from early childhood, but soft toys do not lose their relevance in adult life. For example, now it has become fashionable to give and decorate home comfort with handmade interior toys. As a rule, such toys are not cheap, so many consider them a sign of luxury and prosperity.
Even the most simple toy made with high quality and with love can become very valuable and necessary in someone's family!

For example, my daughter has become a favorite owl toy Angela, which I made for her a couple of years ago, now she doesn’t part with her and takes her to sleep with her for a walk, and to the store, to the dacha (it’s good at least they bathe separately)) in general, she fell in love with her. I think most children either have a favorite toy or really want to have one.

Therefore, today I propose to make a beautiful toy for a gift, and for whom it will be up to you to decide!

Below I have collected templates with a pattern of toys, as well as a step-by-step master class on making.

How easy it is to sew a soft toy. DIY soft toys for beginners with templates

For beginner craftswomen, it will be easiest to sew from a simple pattern.

For example, take a bear template and print it on a printer by increasing it to the desired size, but you can also redraw it on paper, to do this, increase the template you like to suitable sizes on the computer monitor, attach a white sheet of paper to the screen and carefully trace all the contours of the pattern with a pencil.

After cutting out the paper template along the contours.
Choose a beautiful fabric for the toy.

If this is not a complex toy, for example, like a bear in the photo, then here you will need to fold the fabric in two with the front side inward, you can fix it with pins for convenience so that it does not slip, then attach a paper template to the fabric and circle the contours of the fabric with soap or chalk.

Cut out pieces of fabric leaving allowances for seams.
We sew on a typewriter with a regular straight line, leaving a small hole in order to turn the toy on the front side later.
Notches should be made at the folds so that the fabric does not pull in these places.

All now the toy is turned inside out and stuffed with padding polyester, padding polyester or other similar fillers.
Stuffing should not be too tight, but in order to avoid empty areas, the filler must be distributed evenly.

The hole through which stuffed at the end is sewn up with a blind stitch.
We glue or embroider the eyes and mouth, nose on the toy.
We add beautiful details, for example: a bow, a flower, a scarf, buttons, or you can even sew clothes. There is a huge field for creative experiments.

Realize the idea!

A simple pattern of a cat from fabric.

Another easy-to-tailor model is a kitty.
It is sewn and cut according to the same principle as the bear, only two parts are cut out here.
This is the cat itself in two parts and the tail, also in two parts.
They are sewn separately, small holes are also left for eversion and for stuffing with filler, then the tail is sewn to the base of the cat.
You can decorate however you like.

This is the cat I got.

How to sew a complex toy? Do-it-yourself fabric ball, an interesting idea

I think the more difficult toy to make is the one that contains many parts and which is assembled in a certain order.
One night, an idea came to my mind, why don’t I sew a ball out of fabric, it seemed so simple in my head, but when the idea got to the point, it was difficult to understand without an example what to cut, how much to cut and how then all this is right sew.
So I'm sharing the example that I did.

You will need two templates, a hexagon and a pentagon. We transfer them to paper, or even better to cardboard.

We need to cut out 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons from the fabric. I used the fabric in two colors, but this is not necessary, you can make it completely plain or vice versa colored, it's up to you.

As you cut the required number of polyhedra, it is better to decompose them in order to visually understand how you will sew.
This is what the ball layout looks like.

Another layout option

This version of the ball is made of felt, it is easier to sew.
I chose to sew from coarse calico and on a sewing machine, so you still need to leave allowances for seams on the fabric. And iron the seams. You don't need to do this on a felt.
All parts are simply sewn into two halves, and then these two halves are connected together. Need to connect with wrong side, and then leave a small hole not sewn up and turn it out through it.
Stuff tightly with padding polyester, and sew up the hole with a blind stitch.

Such a ball - I turned out handsome!

You can make anything with your own hands - mobiles and pendants in the crib, all kinds of rattles, comforters, soft toys, books and much more.

How to make a mobile in a crib

Today they are extremely popular. This accessory not only gives a special charm to the nursery, but is also a great educational toy. The kid gets stronger physically, trying to get toys and play with them. There is also a development of visual functions, when the child follows the pendants, their movement.

Of course, it is not difficult to buy a mobile, but the prices are quite high. If the funds in the family are limited or you just want to decorate the crumbs room with some unusual thing, then it would be a great idea to make a children's mobile yourself.

Mobile "Birds"

A beautiful entertaining little thing that will decorate the room of both a boy and a girl.

For work you will need

• Pieces of felt of different colors (it is better to take patches as bright as possible).
• Beads - 15 pcs.
• Golden cord (thin) - 4 m.
• Hoop (wood or plastic). The hoop is needed for a round base, if it was not possible to find them, then a thick wire will do.
• Satin and lace ribbons (you can use scraps from previous needlework).
• Colored threads (you can use floss).
• Filler for figures (synthetic winterizer, holofiber).
• The sun is made from fleece, but felt can also be used.
• Glue (you can use regular super glue).

Work description

1. First you need to make bird patterns. You can use this template for this:

You can carefully translate patterns from the monitor screen or print the template on the printer

Advice: When making bird patterns, if the patches are small, it is better to cut out the torsos and wings (large details) first. Beaks, flowers and leaves can be made from small scraps.

You should get such blanks

2. Now you need to sew the birds. The beaks are sewn in immediately.

It is necessary to leave a small hole to fill the bird with filler

3. Each bird needs to be filled with padding polyester.

No need to stuff the toy with filler. Needed to add some volume.

4. Sew wings through the hole. Sew on bead eyes.

Wings are sewn with a neat "cross"

5.Now you can sew up the hole by immediately inserting the pendant cord (we measure about 35-40 cm). The wings should be sewn together with the same neat “cross”.

The bird is ready

You will need 6 of these birds. It's better to make them colorful.

6. Now you need to make decorations for the cords on which the birds hang. These will be clouds, leaves and flowers. Jewelry can be firmly sewn to the cords or glued with glue, gluing two pieces together.

Felt flowers and leaves can be decorated with beads and decorative buttons in the form of ladybugs

7. The sun will be in the center. In this model baby mobile it is sewn from fleece and decorated with floss embroidery (face and rays). You can get by with felt.

You also need to attach a cord to the sun to hang it from the frame.

8. Next, you need to make a hoop frame. We leave one rim from the hoop (external) and tie the prepared figures to it so that they hang at different heights. Now you need to wrap the rim with satin ribbons, crossing them in the middle of the ring.

The ends of the tape can be cut off, carefully tucked under the winding and glued

9. Around the perimeter, you can paste over the rim with lace. It remains only to hang the mobile above the crib, using a cord and a cross of ribbons in the middle of the ring.

This is what a suspended mobile looks like, we tie the sun to the cross

Mobile ready!

From felt, you can make not only birds, but also a lot of other simple funny figures. You can use the following ideas for inspiration:

White bear (you can also make a brown one using the same pattern)

The owl is one of the most fashion trends modernity

The basis of future beauty

2. Now you need to make a lot of butterfly blanks - 110 pcs. If there is a scrap hole puncher, then the production of blanks will take very little time. Otherwise, you will have to arm yourself with scissors and cut butterflies out of paper with them.

You can use this template or draw a butterfly yourself

3. Finished butterflies need to be strung on a fishing line in 5-6 pieces.

It is convenient to use a needle for stringing on a fishing line. Butterflies can be securely fastened with a small drop of super glue.

4. Finished fishing lines need to be tied on the frame and cross. It is better to hang butterflies at different heights.
5. Now you need to decorate the frame. For this, pieces of ribbons and tulle will be used, which can be wrapped or tied in knots around the frame.

Making toys for a baby with your own hands is not difficult at all, and how much joy it will bring! If there are older children in the family, then you can involve them in the manufacture of “razvitka” for the younger family member. This is a great way to have fun and have fun.

Every mother tries to ensure that her baby develops harmoniously. One of the components of this development are beautiful, useful, and most importantly high-quality toys. Alas, you have to pay a lot for quality, but even in this case, mothers are not always sure that toys are safe. How to choose toys, which manufacturers to trust? The answer is simple: the most the best manufacturers toys - mothers-needlewomen who are ready to invent and implement their ideas.

1. A rattle is a baby's first toy. This almost magical item has been known since ancient times. But if today almost all rattles are made of plastic, then our ancestors preferred more natural materials: wood, vine, leather. Why not follow their example? After all, a rattle made of environmentally friendly wicker or rattan is a great alternative to modern plastic toys. (idea)

2. If basket weaving seems too laborious to you, but the rattle is made of natural materials really needed, try crocheting juniper balls. (details)

3. Fashionable soft rattles - that's where the fantasy of a young mother can roam! Using simple patterns, you can create a whole zoo. (MK)

4. The world so huge, and everything in it has its own color, smell, sound ... Start introducing your baby to all its diversity along with a developing book, where each page is a new discovery. ()

5. Educational mats are one of the most popular toys for budding explorers. Rustling, ringing and different to the touch details will help kids develop fine motor skills and hearing, and mothers will have a little rest while their children are busy with research. (original article)

6. Toys of an unusual shape are offered by many manufacturers. But, only by making it yourself, you can be sure that the toy is really made of natural materials, and the filler will not cause allergies. (original MK)

7. A mobile on the crib, or, as this toy is also called, a carousel, will help the baby calm down before going to bed. It is not difficult to make this unit with your own hands. ()

8. Through the efforts of a needlewoman, a shoe box and empty packs of yogurts easily turn into a bright sorter. (idea)

9. Soft puzzles are the most valuable toy, because it performs two functions at once: it develops the child's thinking and can become a soft keeper of the baby's sleep. (original article)

10. Soft stretching on a crib or stroller is the first simulator, thanks to which the baby learns to grab his favorite toy. (idea taken from website)

11. Leather toys have an indisputable plus: they are easily washed from almost any dirt. And if you provide such a toy with developing elements (laces, Velcro), then you will also get an excellent developmental. ()

12. Older children (not only girls, but also boys) try to copy their parents in everything. They definitely need to “wash the dishes”, “vacuum or “cook”. And for these actions they definitely need real water, a vacuum cleaner and products. If you are not ready to wash your favorite sofa from vegetables and fruits and collect cereals throughout the house, make plastic or plaster products for your children. (MK)

13. Many pediatricians advise to develop fine motor skills of babies' hands with the help of lacing. You can make such a simple unit yourself in 10 minutes by making several holes in a round wooden stick. The most important thing is that the tree is well processed and does not leave splinters in little fingers. (idea taken from website)

14. All boys, without exception, love technical things: remote controls, switches, flashlights ... Satisfy your child's curiosity and collect all his favorite things in one educational toy. It could turn out to be a very funny thing. (original idea)

15. It happens that when leaving for a summer cottage or vacation, we forget about toys for the baby. Do not despair! If you have a sock on hand, a couple of buttons and a thread with a needle, you can easily make a cute hare for your child. ()

16. A wooden teether is one of the simplest toys that should be in any mommy's arsenal. (

Most best toys for children - made with soul and with their own hands.

For lovers of needlework, this is a wonderful opportunity to show their talents and give positive emotions to their beloved child.

Instructions for making a developmental cube.

From cotton fabric, cut 6 squares measuring 170 x 170 mm. Sew them according to scheme No. 1.

Do-it-yourself developing cube process description:

1. Cut out the squares from the fabric (if you have not already done so at the preparation stage).

2. Cut out squares from non-woven fabric with a side 1.5 cm smaller than those from fabric.

3. We put interlining on the fabric and iron it so that it sticks.

Now you need to decorate each square - make an application, embroider decorative elements, sew on buttons, beads, etc. Here, how fantasy will play out.

In my case it will look like this:

a) The first element is a spiral with moving beads. On the square, draw a spiral with a disappearing marker. We take a strong mesh fabric (tulle will not work, it is fragile), cut out a square and put it on the drawn spiral. We sew, and put beads inside.
b) The next square will be with a butterfly with rustling wings.

Fold the fabric in half and draw a butterfly. Place rustling cellophane down under the fabric and sew along the contour.

Cut out, cut 1-2 mm at the folds, make a longitudinal cut on one layer.

Now turn out.

We take a lace as antennae, fold it in half and sew it in a zigzag in the right place.

Now we sew the butterfly with the same zigzag.

We close the incision with a rep tape, bending the edges.

I don’t paint the rest of the squares in detail, since they are easy to sew.

c) Feast at the bears: sew on buttons:

d) Route: we adjust the lace in a zigzag.

For strength, a piece of felt is sewn under each button on the reverse side and the thread is tied tightly (safety first!).

e) Bunny - application made of fleecy fabric.

f) A bird with movable legs made of felt. The legs are sewn in the same way as the antennae of a butterfly

and)
h) Moving hearts:

5. You can add ribbons of different textures to your taste (zigzag, narrow, wide, cords, as well as beads or buttons on the cords (we will sew their edges into the seams).

6. It remains to sew and fill the cube. First we sew 4 squares into one strip.

Now the rest of the edges:

7. We must fix all the seams, sew along the contour of the interlining.

8. We sew a scan to get a cube. We join two faces, and wrap the allowance of the third inward.

9. We fix the corner that we wrapped inside with a pin so as not to accidentally flash it. We sew along the gcontour of non-woven fabric.

10. When stitching the last edge, leave an open hole in the corner. It remains to turn it out, fill it with synthetic winterizer or other filler, sew up the hole with a blind seam, and you're done!!! It is better not to stuff too tight, but you can put bells inside.

Another cube for educational games:

Details are cut in the appropriate size. The tree is made of black leather and green felt. An owl made of brown felt is hidden in the trunk. A bush is made of light green leather, on it is a snail. The antennae of the snail are made with a back-needle stitch. At the bottom of the tree there is a plastic perforated rotating flower attached.

1. To decorate the red edge, you need 4 hooks and 5 loops. Mushrooms and acorns are made in different sizes. All removable parts are hidden in a brown felt basket. A loop is sewn on each mushroom and acorn, for which they can be hung on a hook. There is a sewn acorn and a mushroom in the paws of a squirrel. The mushroom is sewn on a loop. The basket is tied with a red ribbon with white polka dots.
   
   
2. On another red facet, a green felt frog is sewn on. Her mouth is zipped up and a long red tongue is hidden inside. The eyes are made of felt and buttons.
   
   
3. The second orange face is decorated with a blue cloud on white Velcro. The cloud is filled with cotton. Below is a blue felt lake. Flowers are made of felt yellow, red and orange flowers. Inside each flower is filled with cotton to create volume. The centers are sewn-on buttons-hats of blue color. Each flower is tied with a ribbon of a different color. A button in the shape of a duck is sewn on the lake, yellow flower in the shape of a ladybug.
   
   
4. On the first of the two white faces - voluminous tree decorated with buttons. The snowman is made of blue felt. Its lower part is sewn on, and the top two are fastened with buttons. The broom is made of a living tree twig and threads imitating straw. The nose of the snowman is made of orange felt and sewn in such a way that it can be pulled.
   
   
5. The second face of white color imitates the sky. A blue felt pocket is sewn on it in the form of a cloud. Ribbons are superimposed in the form of a rainbow. A lace is inserted diagonally along which the sun moves. In the upper corner, the lace is pulled through a ribbon loop, and in the lower corner, through a hole cut in the pocket. The sun is made of yellow felt and filled with cotton wool. The face is embroidered with threads. Pulling the cord, the sun either appears or hides behind a cloud.
   
   
   
   
6. After completing all sides of the cube, it must be sewn from the wrong side, leaving only one seam open.
   
   
7. Turning the cube on the front side, you need to fill it with foam rubber. To do this, cut the squares and fold them into a cube in the appropriate size. Places that are poorly filled should be reported with cotton wool. Sew the last side of the cube on the front side.
   
   

The product is ready. The whole cube is sewn by hand, without using sewing machine. Enjoy your work, and the kid an exciting game!
