Someone donated a whole bunch of terry cloth (blue and green) to the library and we used our die cuts and teen staff to cut them into shapes for take home kits to make softies. However, we ended up with a LOT left over, plus I discovered that the needle and thread kits I included had faulty needles that are impossible to thread.
So, as I was revamping our Read and Grow: 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten as well as thinking of a whole new slate of summer take homes for summer reading, I decided to recycle most of the softie sewing kits. I am working on sewing them up myself and they will become reading buddies that kids "earn" for our Read and Grow program. We've got about 5 or so that I and my staff have made and these are the first terrycloth ones I've finished.
