This toy flower garden is soft as a pillow and a great way to bring spring and summer inside, especially with 2 feet of snow outside. The four flowers pop out when pulled and can be replanted over and over. It takes some time to put together so its a great rainy day or group project. The instruction sheet is clearly written and working with stretchy fleece is so easy; especially when sculpting the ‘flower’. Here’s the garden with one of the flowers pulled out.
The flowers each have 5 petals but you could add as many as you want. One pattern piece is used so cut as many as you want your flowers to have.
Hand stitching the flowers into the stem and then the bulb is free form and takes some practice but working with fleece makes it easy. If you’ve ever done any soft sculpture work you’ll use those skills here. Be creative.

This is beautiful! I want one for each of my children
