Loopies Plush: Kids use a broad needle, similar to crocheting, to pull loops of thick yarn through the mesh and create a unique pet. These kits come in a variety of different animals to choose from, including a cat, panda, and unicorn. Attach eyes and other features with the same technique, and then let your kids decide if they want to keep or gift their newest creation.

It comes with materials to make one critter, but you can add extra socks, stuffing, and other materials like thread and eyes to make nine different animals. Each pet comes with its own instructions, and requires sewing. The book also teaches basic sewing stitches, so no one needs to know how to sew before beginning these stuffed creations.

It includes a multitude of colors, and works on almost any type of light colored fabric. The easy to follow instructions give a variety of different techniques to create many designs.
