Get back to school with this adorable handmade pencil plushie! :)

If you know anything about our family, you know that our little Esther is OBSESSEDDDDDDD with plushies and stuffies! Like this is nearly almost exclusively what she plays with – and I’m not one bit mad because her imagination is in FULL FORCE as she makes houses and plays pretend with them with birthday parties and doctor visits and walks around the yard, etc! 🙂 AND AND AND the best part is that plushies are 100% makable….it isn’t uncommon for her to ask me to make her a shape or character that she doesn’t have! And she just recently asked me to make her a few pencils so that she can play school with them (she thinks it’s hilarious that a pencil would actually GO to school to learn….ahhhh, the imagination of a 6 year old)! 🙂
SOOOOOO! Today, let’s sew a colorful pencil plushie….the full pattern and instructions are below! 🙂
