Tutorial: Fabric square texture sensory toy for baby

This fabric square sensory baby toy is easy to sew, and you probably have all the material you need sitting in your scrap bin. Damjana from Apple Green Cottage shows how to make them. The fabric squares are each made from a different material so baby’s hands can explore the different textures. If you make 2 of each fabric type, you can use it as a matching game when baby reaches toddlerhood.
