This weekend, let's tackle our
leftover yarn for once, so we can make room for something new! And at the same time, you'll create wonderful
toys that you can give as a very personal gift at Christmas.


You can crochet up lots of small colorful leftover yarn with this board game for up to 4 players. The cute game pieces (4 kittens and 13 little mice) will even encourage die-hard game grumps to join in. The goal is to catch as many mice as possible. But they can also be stolen from you again. You’ll find the exact rules of the game in the pattern.

Kindergarten children love finger puppets! With these cute little finger puppets, even very young children can put on a puppet show. They often can’t hold the larger hand puppets very well yet. But with these finger puppets, that’s no problem. With this pattern, you get a value set: 10 patterns with the most important characters from the puppet theater: Kasperl, crocodile, Seppel, Gretel, grandmother, robber, police officer, witch, king, and princess. And all of it is made from your leftovers!

You can also crochet this well-filled basket of vegetables for a play kitchen or children’s grocery store from your leftovers. 9 varieties are described here: cauliflower, leek, zucchini, eggplant, corn, tomato, bell pepper, carrot, and kohlrabi. If you choose the right colors, the vegetables look almost real. The little greengrocer will be delighted!
