Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with different color combinations for this sweet bunny - try soft pastels like mint green or dusty pink for a dreamy nursery vibe, or go bold with bright rainbow colors that will stimulate baby's developing vision. You can easily customize the bow with different colors or even add tiny crocheted flowers for extra charm.

For an extra special touch, I sometimes add a few drops of lavender essential oil to the stuffing (making sure it's baby-safe) to create a calming sensory experience. You could also experiment with different wooden ring sizes - smaller rings work great for tiny newborn hands, while larger ones are perfect for older babies who are developing their grip strength.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Working too loosely around the wooden ring causing the fabric to slide and move ✗ Forgetting to stuff the head before closing it completely, making it difficult to achieve proper shape ✗ Placing the facial features incorrectly without measuring the proper spacing between eyes and nose placement ✗ Not securing the rattle inside the head properly before final stuffing, causing it to rattle loose
