I see alot of stuff geared towards little girls (SO I get my fix) but I would like some ideas for my DS who is going to be 2 in March. Stuffed items, games, clothing, etc...

Please help as I cannot seem to find things in the stores geared for little boys.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Heather

How about a quillow? I.E., a blankie/little quilt that folds up into a pocket and makes a pillow. If he is into a special cartoon character, you could possibly get fabric from that character to make the pocket for the pillow.

When my son was that age he loved the book Scuffy the Tugboat so I made him a stuffed Scuffy the Tugboat. He loved it. He loved Scuffy the Tugboat so much he has him tattooed in brillant color on his leg!! Kids JoAnn

Heather-
Little knit animals, a set of bean bags with a bit of lavender or mint inside, a cloth cape or a little doll made in colors for a boy- this is a wonderful chance for him to have a little pal or play Daddy (little boys so infrequently get dolls but they love them). Another wonderful toy would be a felt board with little felt shapes to put up (you could make little animals or people later so he can act out stories).

I have made all of these things, take a look at the pics in my etsy store for inspiration if you are planning on making them for him.
Warmly, Rebekka

you can buy little wooden people forms online. search for waldorf gnome making. and then just use some felt to make punky hair (glue gun required) and sew on the little felt clothes and make a skate board out of popsicle sticks and voila! SK*R PUNX!! LOL!

I made his one sister a nativity set. She adores the nativity so I did the same thing, but made them Hebrew looking...I'll take pics in a little bit...

I am making my boys yoyo clowns. I agree, though, it is hard to find things to make for boys. Especially clothes. They have such cute patterns for girl stuff, but almost nothing for boys. Just plain pants and shirts.

I have enlarged a simple doll pattern (flat front and back pattern) and made him a boy to wear size 2-3 clothes my son had outgrown. He could wear baby type shoes, etc. He sleeps with it!

Happy Holidays to my FARMGIRL sisters!
