Slithering Friend

Here is a quick snake I made for Jack. Very simple, but it seems to be well received! He's been hissing all morning.

    Cuuuute! Would be cool to fill it with rice so it makes a noise on its own as well...

    Looks like more of a Thhhhhh than a Ssssssss.
    Either way .... pure happiness!!

    Thanks. And yes, Fridica, that is a great idea! Maybe insert a tube of some sort and fill that with rice, then put stuffing around that. I'll have to try that on the next one!

    Andi - You're right, but it's a very wet Thhhhhhh, so it sounds a little like Sssssss too. ha! Very funny to watch.

    Hi Joel,
    I have found your site by accident today. How WUNDERFUL!
    I Love it.
    I have 3 boys under 4 years (also twins) and I love to be creative with them. But I am a woman and my ideas are more "feminin". But now I have a lot of "male" ideas...
    I love the "fish-thing".
    again: WONDERFUL
    You are great and perfect.
    Best wishes
    Karin, Germany
