These are my favorite felting things to make. They are a small jingle bell needled felted into the center of a ball. Then some cute animal, boat, flower, stripe- some design felted to the outside. My favorite part is coming up with the new somethings. Here are a few of the latest...

| For the Boys- a boat, a car and a dog |

| The Animals- a fish, a duck and a pig |
They are a great unique baby shower present. Just this or add a bib or some burp cloths and you are done. For toddlers just learning to roam around a throw things they are great too. They love the sound and that they can grab it. And they can do too much damage with a nice soft ball. Each one is approx 5 inches in diameter and still soft enough that small hands are able to grab.
There are also ones for the older kids- didn't want them to feel left out. This one is for my daughter- she is a freshman in high school- the front is her high school- Conestoga- and the back is the year she is going to graduate. This way when she is mad at her brothers and wants to throw something at them- she has something that won't kill them- or break anything.
