Are you looking for a quick gift that brings smiles to a child's face?

It works up quickly and since it is a Monster Fish, it is not picky in how it turns out. :)

And on top of it, isn't it a great way to introduce your child to the value of money, perhaps a small allowance or the concept of saving, spending and sharing (donation)?

The pattern also comes with a photo tutorial on how to sew in the zipper and a short description on hand felting.
