Adorable Sock Monkey Costume

There’s still enough time for you to make this adorable sock monkey costume for your child. All you need is a well fitting sleeper, a package of mens work socks, and some basic sewing skills. I found this tutorial on Instructables. Jessica, the mom who created this one, did a really awesome job putting her creativity to use.

Something a little different

So when I stumbled across this super crafty owl tote bag, I just knew it had to be shared with Kids Stuff World readers. In fact, this may just be the item we were looking for to round up all the goodies we have planned for our first giveaway. On an entirely separate note, Ellen from The Long Thread fashioned this bag to hold goodies for little ones on Halloween. This bag would no doubt be perfect for trick or treating but we see so many other uses for this terrific project too. Take a look at the original post here, and find the link to the instructions here. If you choose to make your very own Scrappy Owl Tote bag shoot as a photo, we’d love to see how it turns out.

Hoots Paper Owl Toy

Check out Hoots The Owl by Enamor

Sticking with our owl theme, we thought we would pass on this super cute DIY paper owl toy. This adorable owl can be yours in just 10 minutes! Use some thicker paper and you’ve got a permanent piece on your hands. I envision myself experimenting with fun prints and creating different animals. Who knows maybe we can start a Kids Stuff World Paper animal collection. If you’ve got a 3D paper animal you’d like to share with us, email us at kidsstuffworld@gmail.com.

If you’ve made you own hoots, like Little Beary Li send a pic to Enamor, she’d love to see them all.
