Spring Lamb

First up is this simple little lamb! When I made it with my kids, my 2yrs old kept saying over and over again “It’s soft, Mummy, soft”… aaah so cute! They really are simple to make and have the added benefit that they stand up (so you can play with them), alternatively, make several and turn them into a little mobile!
