Crochet wolf - a cute crochet toy

I made this crochet wolf to be part in my set of three little pigs. I like to use them to tell stories to my kids.

The crochet wolf is the size of a palm. It is made with cotton yarn.

I like that my crochet wolf is not a scary one. I think its red little tongue is a cute detail. 

I made a purple scarf for this crochet wolf, but I think other colors will be great too: yellow or blue for example.

Rainbow Gnomes, Waldorf Gnomes Days of the Week

These are my Waldorf gnomes. Because my background as a Waldorf teacher gives me ideas, I made these Waldorf gnomes. They are used for setting a seasonal table for example. They represent days of the week, and each has a particular color.

Waldorf gnomes

The colors are: Monday - purple, Tuesday - red, Wednesday - yellow, Thursday - orange, Friday - green, Saturday - blue, Sunday - white. 

Waldorf dolls have no face, so the kids can imagine their expression.

Waldorf Gnomes Activities 

• Using a different color for each day can help you in many activities. On the other hand, kids love the colors. 
• You can dress in the color of the day. 
• Following the color of the day, the kids can choose easily their clothes and they will learn the colors quickly. 
• Use the gnomes to tell or to invent stories, use them in math or when you read a picture book. Make them your partner. 
• Ask your child to find through the house or outside things in the color of the day. 
• Kids will learn easily the days because they associate each day with a color.

How to make fabric memory game

I found this lovely fabric that is perfect for sewing a memory game for kids. It has some divided squares and they are match 2 by 2. How I made the memory game:

I cut the pieces. I made some same size pieces for the background.  They are from simple uni fabric.

At sewing machine, I sew on the edges.

Then I turned inside out and I sew the open space with invisible stitch. The game is finished.

Because I have different sets, I made a bag for each. I embroidered the theme on the draw string bag.
