Every Teddy bear and stuffed animal has "pretend" scrapes and boo-boos every now and then. A sweet little gift or surprise for your young child would be to make a few simple Bandaids for them. These bandaids will help your child to express compassion as they care for their stuffed animals.
Supplies to make a Bandaid:
Beige felt or fleece
White felt or fleece
White Velcro tape (sticky side only)
Needle and thread (or sewing machine)
1. Directions (Follow the photo above as you do the following:)
2. Cut beige felt in the shape of a large Bandaid -- 2 to 3" long.
3. Cut a square of white felt and sew around the edges in the center of the beige felt Bandaid.
4. Cut two small pieces of the sticky side of Velcro and sew them on each end of the Bandaid.
An older child could make Bandaids as a craft to give to a younger sibling or younger friend or relative. It's commendable to teach your children to make some of their gifts and this is a perfect example.
