Buckle Toy

Project Type: Learning Toy
Age Range: One year or older

I notice Bro-Bro starting to get interested in buckles around the age of one.  As the months progressed his desier to master this skill seemed to grow.  I had this idea one day as I watched him work so hard to make the buckle on his wagon seat belt click together.

I went to the dollar store and found this cute orangutan stuffed animal.  I thought it would be perfect with it's long arms and legs to sew buckles to the hands and feet.  I got two different types of buckles from a near by craft store in the sewing department.

It was quick, easy and very inexpensive.

Bro-Bro has loved it! He has been able to master the one on Buckley's hands and now is working on his feet.  Ya-Ya loves for me to attach Buckley's hands around her waist so she can wear him like a cute accessory.  Oh the difference between boys and girls!
