Tutorial: Mini felt football softie, plus a free printable family game

Emily from Nap Time Creations shares a free pattern for making a felt football softie. She used it to make a fun family game for the family to play while watching football together. She includes a printable for the game so you can play it too! The little felt football also makes for fun inside play, where tossing around a full sized and heavier football is not really an option.
