Happy - Sad Face Pillow

MATERIALS:

Smooth two-color fabric
Colored felt
Needle
Thread
Scissors
Yarn
Filling
Mold: a circle smaller than the size of the fabric cuts

Introduction:

The pillow will help us emotional and social development at an early age, it is that our babies learn little by little to recognize their emotions, when we name them. The love, respect, empathy, open communication, and unconditional attention of a trusting and caring adult are the important foundation of emotional development.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Trace the two circles on the fabric squares and cut out
We trace the molds of the parts of the face on the felt and cut out: (Happy face: eyes: two white circles and two smaller black circles, 2 eye lashes, 1 nose (geometric figure, circle, square, rectangle), 1 mouth, two circular badges; Sad face: eyes: two white circles and two smaller half black circles; 1 nose (geometric figure, circle, square, rectangle), a mouth, 4 teardrops)
Sew the two circles of fabric, this procedure will be with the fabric upside down, we will leave an open part without cooking, and turn the fabric over.
Fill with polyester and sew the pillow completely
Sew the parts of the face where they correspond (eyes, mouth, nose, tears, badges)
Create the hair with enough yarn, make a braid and braid it from one end to the other.

STEP BY STEP IN PICTURES:

Recommendations:

Placement of the boy's hair:

Take as a measure the sides of the eyes starting on the right and ending on the left.
Take the needle with the yarn and sew it from side to side (give it the desired length) and when cutting it they make a knot so that the hairs they are going to form do not fall out.

Placement of the girl's hair:

Cut the yarn lengthwise and join it at one end to start shaping a braid (the help of someone will be needed for its elaboration).
Tie the end of the braid with another piece of yarn.
Once the braid is finished, start cooking taking into account the same distance from the child's hair.
