[everkutz]

They are all so cute! The round blue head reminds me of Cookie Monster!

[sakurasaku]

I LOVE them. I'm not at all surprised that your daughter's friends go crazy over such adorable little ones.

 

They look GREAT grouped together, but cute individually, too.

 

Thanks for sharing!

[Mrs. Principal]

[loopy1]

How great! And thanks for sharing the pattern! These are perfect for children's Sunday School departments!

[stormy]

Too cute!! The blue one looks like the Cookie Monster!

[Etrnlife]

They are so cute!!!!! It's amazing what we come up with for our kids. My son was always asking me to make strange things when he was younger. A bloodshot eyeball hackey sack was the grossest one. I compromised and made a simple eyeball. LOL

[CrazeeMoi]

Thank you soooooo much for sharing!

[yarndiva]

Very Cute...love the blue one, looks like my fave cooky monster.

 

And yes, He does love all the children of the word!!

[parisjem]

Kids make great critics. No pretence. And they LOVE these toys!!!!

Way to go, Kristie! Must confess, I love them too. I want one for me!

[Mom w/a Motif]

They are adorable! I know our four year old will love these. It will fit right in his hand. Either that or your little striped turtle. He has been wanting me to 'make him a turtle.' (Don't know where that came from, but...)

 

Anyway, they are cute! I even like them. You come up with the cutest designs for kids. (And their moms to make them...)

 

Thanks for posting this pattern Kristie!

Those would make great favors/craft project at a kid's (or kid-at-heart's) birthday party. You could make up several 'blank' heads and then the kids could add hair, eyes, etc. with either yarn or felt. I'm sure they'd get really creative!

A great way to use scraps,Kristie!Thanks for the pattern.
