What little boy wouldn’t want to be a train driver? Even the very little ones can play with this train. It is soft and cuddly, can be washed, and can even withstand enthusiastic displays of affection. It is also the right size for small dolls (e.g., Playmobil) to ride along. The cars can also serve as circus wagons or construction trailers.
The individual parts are easy to crochet, even for beginners, since only single crochet stitches are used, and then they just need to be sewn together.
Here is the pattern for the  locomotive
And here for the cars

That's true! Homemade toys from Grandma are the best and guaranteed one of a kind! All you need is a few grams of yarn, a crochet hook, and a matching pattern to create such a unique piece for your grandchild. While crocheting, you think of your little treasure and your heart feels all warm - a handicraft for the heart and soul.

For that, I could recommend my "Board Games". You can crochet the games themselves, the game pieces, and a matching bag for transport. The items can be
stored and transported easily in it. That way you can
also take them along on an outing or on vacation. And
they're washable too! Your grandchildren will be amazed at what you can do!

First there is the "Checkers Game"



Then there is also the classic "Mensch-ärgere-dich-nicht". Here I made buttons as playing pieces.


And third, you could crochet the Nine Men's Morris "Mill Game" with matching game pieces.



I wish you lots of joy crocheting, giving, marveling, and playing - Yours, Ina

What do all little girls love to play with? .... That’s right—dolls. They love nothing more than dressing and undressing their little darlings and reenacting their
own world with them. They’d definitely be thrilled to get a new wardrobe. That makes
playtime even more fun. All you need is a few grams of yarn,
a set of double-pointed needles, and the right pattern. I especially like the knitted designs from the “Basic” series because they’re modern and perfect for everyday wear.




If you prefer something more elegant or need a dress for a grand entrance, I recommend this floor-length, elegant dress with a sophisticated low-cut back. It’s quick and easy to knit, and when worn, it’s guaranteed to turn heads. The dolls will be fighting over it ;-)



I hope you all have lots of fun with this beautiful doll fashion—the kind I would have loved to have as a child. Warm regards—Ina

All the patterns I’m presenting here are suitable for beginners and can be made quickly.

For children who enjoy playing with their play kitchen, I have something special.

If you prefer crocheting doll clothes to knitting them, these crochet patterns are the perfect choice. Here, too, just a few grams of yarn and a crochet hook are all you need to create the most wonderful dresses, hats, and bags for your little darlings. With the “Swing” doll dress series , you can conjure up especially beautiful, flowing dresses.



But you can also go for a more figure-hugging look with the “Schick & Sexy” doll dress series .
I hope you have lots of fun crocheting, giving these as gifts, and playing — Ina

The ideal gift, especially for Easter. Garden season is beginning, and a ball like this is just right for the little ones. 

These grannies are quick to crochet; they securely enclose a balloon and protect it from popping too quickly. Whether indoors or outdoors, this ball can be used anywhere.

And if it gets dirty... no problem, it can be washed right away, dries quickly, and is ready for the next play session.

You can play with egg cozies too! In that case, recommended: use safety eyes instead of buttons.

The Cuddly Bear is a true friend—you can hold him in your arms and give him a hug, explore the world with him, or simply snuggle with him in bed.

Despite his size of 55 cm, he’s crocheted just as quickly as a smaller bear thanks to the yarn’s thickness.

All you need to know are the standard stitches: slip stitches,
single crochets, chain stitches, and half double crochets.
