This crochet pattern for a world of tiny creatures in the meadow introduces toddlers to the fascinating world of insects. Playing with this interactive playmat helps develop fine motor skills, sparks creative thinking, and enhances cognitive abilities.
The dragonfly dives into the lake and lands on a beautiful water lily. The flowers are buttoning activities, rotating and inviting the gorgeous butterfly to choose its landing spot. The busy bee collects honey from the flowers and carries it back to the hive. Hidden beneath the big ladybug are small ones, perfect for a fun memory game. The playful grasshopper jumps and hides in the grass, while the cute caterpillar crawls along the path, visiting its friends.
When playtime is over, all the toys can be neatly stored in the special bag, ready for the next adventure.
Pattern includes: Playmat; Storage bag; 5 Toys: Dragonfly, Butterfly, Grasshopper, Bee and Caterpillar; 2 Flowers; 8 Small Ladybugs.
