Students create a cozy sleeping bag set designed to fit an 18-inch doll or a stuffed animal. Using soft fleece and felt, students sew a fleece sleeping bag finished with a ribbon tie, a plush fleece pillow featuring a pocket and a convenient carrying strap or handle, and a felt chocolate chip cookie! In addition to enjoying important skills, students gain patience, problem-solving skills, and pride in creating a functional, comforting set they’ll love to use again and again.
