Aspiring Designer: Just Bananas Over Soft Toys
/
Hi, I’m Janette Bannerman! I’m “Just Bananas Over Soft Toys”..... I think I have always been that way. I designed and made my first Soft Toy when I was 12 years old. Designing has been a continuing passion that has now progressed to the point where I am able to share what I love to do with you in the form of Sewing Pattern PDFs.
Fish in a Bowl or Tank can be a fascinating sight for a child. ‘Could I have a Fish Please?’
Reasons for and against granting the request may be many and varied.
“This Little Fishy”...“That Little Fishy”...“Another Little Fishy”
A very excited pointing finger wants to “Net All Three”!
Granting your child’s request in the form of a real live
Fish may not be practical but the gift of a toy Fish
could be a suitable substitute and provide hours of fun!
Equipped with a special ‘finger pocket’ each Fish is more than a
cuddly Soft Toy it is a type of Puppet! It is an action toy that children and adults can enjoy!
Each Finger Pocket Fish can be used as a Clutch Toy for a Baby or Child that will stimulate the senses and promote fine motor skills. Each Fish can be used as a Puppet simply by inserting a finger or two into the strategically placed ‘finger pocket’ and moving the finger(s) or entire arm to imitate the swimming action of a live Fish. Babies will exhibit great delight when watching the Fish moved in this fashion and Children will enjoy animating their own Under the Sea adventures.

Wondering what “Skill Level” is required? Now that is where I have trouble deciding......
But will the PDF Instructions be easy to follow?
Perhaps a Sample Page will help you decide for yourself.....
