Description: | |
My 10 year-old daughter came up with the idea for this swap. She is very creative and loves to sew. One of her favorite things to make are handmade stuffies out of recycled materials (such as old sweaters, sweatshirts, sweatpants, blankets, socks, scraps of fabric, etc.). She thought it would be fun to create a handmade stuffie, along with a short description of the stuffie (kind of like a birth certificate) and swap it with another child. Here are the details: The swap is open to children between the ages of 8 - 12 years of age. Each child will create one stuffie and a short description (mini-biography) of the stuffie. These are both open to interpretation so have fun and be as creative as you wish. The stuffie should be anywhere from 3 - 5 inches in length so it's a mini-stuffie. The materials it is made from should be clean and in good condition. The description of the stuffie should include a name, date of birth, birthplace and perhaps, a list or description of the things he or she likes (e.g. "Ruffles loves candy canes, watching cartoons and chasing ladybugs"). [If this swap goes well, then I'll be making a regular-sized stuffie swap in the future!] You must have at least 10 swaps under your belt and at least a 4.8 rating. I cannot angel this swap so please, if you're unable to fulfill the requirements and deadlines - do not sign up. No unexplained ones. If you have had a misunderstanding please pm me before the sign up deadline. I'm willing to work with you but communication is the key. The sign up and send date are after the New Year and your child will have just over a month to create their stuffies. If you know that you'll be signing up for the swap, it'll give your child time to work on it over the holidays. Any questions please pm me. |
