The new philosophy of reuse at home leads us to give a new life to blankets, towels, but also fruit and vegetable waste, from stones to leaves and peels. As far as textile products are concerned, almost all of us decide to cut pieces that are too discolored or worn, such as towels, with scissors.
Few know how to turn them into toys for the little ones, who will appreciate them very much. Instead of going to buy a soft toy or a stuffed teddy bear, here’s how to make one in seconds with the help of the Casa di ProieziondiBorsa editorial staff.
Those who love Linus’ blanket
Sometimes young children get very attached to a piece of fabric, a pillowcase, or even a towel that they like to always carry with them, no matter what. On the occasion of a ceremony, a trip or a particularly formal event, we cannot show up with the little one equipped with small pieces or an old towel.
But today there is the possibility of reaching a decent compromise. So let’s make a decent, very soft teddy bear for children with this common object found in the bathroom. If we get little hands to prepare it, it will be even easier to make them accept a temporary replacement of the blanket or the beloved rag.
New life to the old towel
Let’s take a hand towel, put it on a plane in front of us vertically. Now we fold the upper flap towards us. At this point we roll up the sides forming two cylinders side by side. Let’s take them in hand and fold them in half. Now we open one of the flaps in the center so that two small rolls remain on the sides. We take a rubber band and roll it about halfway from the top. We will have isolated the traditional head ofTeddy bear from the rest of the body. Now we pinch the top right and left and with two small rubber bands stopped quickly, we will have created the little ears of our bear friend. At this point all that remains is to cover the larger elastic with a nice colored ribbon, as it could be pink or blue.

We can also make this perfect trick for calming small children during a garden party. For example, welcoming families with children to our break and breakfast with a smile. It can also be used to make a simple towel that we want to bring as a gift to a birthday party. Speaking of party, here is the incredible aperitif of summer 2021 delicious and suitable for everyone, even for children and vegans. And to accompany it, a zucchini pie that will make all the little guests lick their mustaches.
