The Comfort Critters are the perfect pocket-sized amigurumi dolls for little hands! This play-based amigurumi project features tiny animals (mouse, bear, and bunny) with tiny beds that you can tuck them into. You can upcycle a mint tin as a house for your Comfort Critter to live inside of, too.

It’s a gender neutral and unisex toy that can be gifted to both boys and girls, and make great presents for kids birthdays, holidays, as party favors, or as craft fair products.

They can also be back-to-school projects for students to take with them on the first day of school. Comfort Critters can serve as worry dolls to ease nerves and anxiety! With their portable size, it’s easy to travel with them. These therapy dolls can also be used by children with autism, sensory needs, or other special needs to calm down and self-regulate by holding onto it and practicing breathing.

The PDF pattern includes full written instructions on making the doll (with three different animal ear options) and the bed.
