Sensory Baby Toys

3 Full Themed Baby Sets

With so many beginner level projects to crochet, you are sure to find a suitable handmade item you can make! There are 3 themed sets, a Beehive Baby Set, a Bunny Baby Set and an Elephant Circus Baby Set.

Each set includes a number of projects that you can use together, or separately to entertain baby, or to gift to someone for their little one.

Some projects could be used separately too, like the little bear, the elephant, the bunnies (there are 2 different styles), the mountain, the acorn, the balls, the beehives and the bees. They can be made as finished toys that are perfectly sized for baby’s hands.

You really do get more than 15 patterns in this set if you count all the individual pieces that make up the projects!
