About this pattern

Craft Cheryl Owen's educational ladybird toy from plush and cotton fabrics.

This smiling ladybird is not just here to look cute – it’s also been cleverly designed to develop children’s dexterity and counting skills. Each spot is attached with hook and loop fastener, meaning little ones can easily peel them off, work out how many there are, then stick them back on limitless times. You’ll enjoy a fun afternoon of sewing and the kids will get a snazzy new counting toy – everyone’s a winner!
