child's play

I could not help but be inspired by a new challenge blog I came across- its so new that they are on their first challenge- and looking for a design team as well- the idea behind the blog is to be inspired by toys- when I saw what the first toy was- I just had to take part- it's this rattle toy- Stanley had one of them for his first Christmas ( he's nine now) so I had to print out a picture of him with the toy to use on the LO- here is the toy- and here is the blog- Child's play challenges
This is the LO I made- I used the idea of the balls connected by lines and surrounded my picture with circles and buttons linked by string and dotted lines of fake stitching
