After seeing this tag toy on pinterest, I made this one for Calvin! (Front and back pictured.)  It’s not quite the same as the instructions called for (no time for fabric paint and templates) but I had some cute flannel left over from burp cloth making and a lot of ribbon.  Calvin is definitely keen to find the tag on any toy, so I think this may be appealing.  There are a few details that reveal its homespun origins - like seams that go a little this way, then that way.  A cleaned up Zone Bar wrapper inside makes it crinkly. I’d have to practice more before this could become another go-to baby gift for others, but I’m sure Calvin will overlook his mom’s minor errors.
