One day as I was clicking through blog land, I saw this cute I spy bag that Allison of Oopsey Daisy made for her son. I had been wanting to make an I spy bag for the kids for awhile because they love the one my mom has at her house. When I saw the Kermit the Frog bag on Oopsey Daisy and I remembered that my mother in law gave me a HUGE amount of Red felt! I came up with these characters.
I had a fun time making these even though I had to unpick more than I had hoped. They are perfect for church and kept the kids entertained.
The day I made these was a day we were having one of our famous AZ monsoon storms! So as I took pictures of my progress the sunlight was in and out. But it was a perfect day to make a project!

These are so cute! I have a great nephew who loves Elmo, this would be perfect for him. Where do you find the plastic sheets at?? Thanks.

This is SOOO dang cute! I’ve only ever seen the square I spy bags. These are so much better. I love how you personalized them for your kiddos. I’d love for you to share this at my link party. http://adventuresofadiymom.blogspot.com/2012/07/terrific-tuesdays-25_23.html

great idea to use buttons for the toys inside! I also love the characters. I made an i-spy bag once and it was a bit of a disaster. The toys were too big and it wasn’t too hard to find them. 😛 thanks for the great ideas!

This is such a seriously fun idea! I absolutely LOVE it! I’ve been wanting to make one for my little man, I really think he would get a kick out of them!

This is adorable! I personally love the little Elmo one myself. I wish I would have thought of this a few weeks ago for my nephews birthday. Instead, I wrapped his present like Elmo — http://www.spoolandspoonblog.com/2012/07/elmo-present-printable.html
