Unicorn and Horse Puzzle Ball

$9.00

Amish puzzle balls are a traditional toy. Individual segments are sewn together to create a tactile plush ball that’s easy for babies and young children to grasp.

Here I’ve created a unique twist on this classic toy. This puzzle ball comes apart into three rings that, once assembled, create an adorable unicorn or horse.

Sure to delight children and adults alike, I hope you enjoy sewing this special interactive plush toy.

The finished toy is 11 inches tall.

This is a digital PDF sewing pattern that will be emailed to you immediately after purchase.

To make a puzzle ball you’ll need:
