Adventure Bags by Cosy Crochet

The Mermaid Adventure Bag is the second in hopefully a long line of differently designed Adventure Bags by Cosy Crochet.

The idea behind the adventure bags is that each bag is a toy in its own right, which has appropriate themed accessories to match. As well as being part of the toy, at the end of the day when the fun has ended, these bags fold away and store all the accessories inside them, meaning they don’t require much storage. As a lovely advantage they are also the perfect travel toy for any child to take away with them for any length of time.

The Mermaid Adventure Bag

The Mermaid Adventure Bag is, is an underwater adventure in a seashell bag. When closed up the bag just looks like any other seashell shaped bag with some lovely silver detail to it. However, when opened up this bag is so much more, is is an underwater adventure with places for the mermaids and other sea creatures to hide and play. They can swim through the Sea Kelp Forest, hide in the Coral Reef, or take their chances as getting the pearl out of the clam shell. The Mermaids can play with or rescue the turtle, dolphin or little fish in their underwater world.

Once your child has finished in their imaginative mermaid play they can simply mermaids and sea creatures back in the bag, fold it up and be on their way.

The finished Mermaid Adventure bag is 15” wide x 10” tall x 3” deep when closed.
