Button Snake


This was one of the quickest little projects I have put together. Hooray for using up scraps of this and that to create something fun and useful! I found this cute idea over at The Toby Show and knew with my stash of ribbons and buttons and felt (oh my!) that I could whip this up in no time. Andrew couldn't wait to get his hands on it and play away. This is a great way to practice buttoning and to work those cute little finger muscles for better fine motor control. (Sorry the teacher in me had to say that.) Enjoy!

  3. I love the different textures what a great idea. How was it for them putting the felt on the ribbon? It seems rather challenging to me?

  4. I made sure the slits in the felt were wide enough so that they could button easily. My oldest had no problem and my youngest just likes to carry it around and make hissing noises...
