A toy-comforter

More recently, online stores for newborns have a novelty - a toy-comfort. Young moms, keeping pace with the times, immediately began to try this miracle. Let us also know the purpose of such a toy for a child.

Why do we need comfort toys?

From the name of the toy you can guess that it is intended for the comfort of the baby. But it is not clear how it contributes to this and how it differs from teddy bears and ducks. After all, a toy-comfort is just one or two-sided soft cloth with a sewn head of a cute little animal.

It turns out that her name deserved by the fact that the mother during the feeding of the baby, puts it to her chest and a soft cloth-the animal is literally saturated with the smell of the wet nurse. When the baby is put into a crib for sleep, a comfortable toy is put on him so that he can feel the native smell next to him and worry less.

Many babies, satisfying the instinct of sucking, constantly tease the edges of the diaper or blanket in the mouth. The same effect has a small soft cloth with which the baby can be reassured at any time, only giving him a familiar toy in the handles. It is safe and does not accumulate microbes, since it often undergoes washing.

Toy-comfort with our own hands - master class

Each mom can make a comfort toy, using simple patterns. They are not necessary to search on the Internet, because you can come up with your own design of a simple child's toy:

1. To work, you need any soft hypoallergenic tissue - a gentle bike, mahra or chintz. It is important that it does not fade and not be painted with the paint of poisonous flowers. It is better to choose a material of gentle pastel tones for making a cute bunny.
2. It is necessary to take two multi-colored cuts with sides not less than 40 cm for the main part, and the scraps will fit for details.
3. The pattern for a comfort toy is as simple as two parts for the trunk, two parts for the head and four for the ears.
4. Having found a toy, it is necessary to determine the further course of work, laying out the prepared details of the bunny before you.
5. The yellow and pink parts must be sewn together, leaving a hole for the head, and one side.
6. Blue marked an unshielded place, up to 10 cm in size.
7. From the wrong side, we spread the head of the bunny, leaving two holes for the neck and ears, and sewing the details of the ears together and turning them out.
8. The ears are placed in the proper place.
9. To fill the head, we use threads of mulina or sintepon.
10. The head is ready.
11. Sew the head and twist the trunk, through the hole left.
12. Cut carefully neatly.
13. We designate the feet, tied them with a knot, and our comfort bunny is ready for use.

In stores, in addition to rag-toys, comforters, you can find and knitted. With the help of a hook, the mother can also tie a sweet little animal to her beloved son or daughter.
