Don't Bite Your Friends

We were into our second -and final- week of swimming lessons for little Cooper, and he was still crying hysterically through the entire class.  Desperate times call for desperate measures.  I needed a good bribe, and fast!  His only request?  Yo Gabba Gabba toys.  In case you haven't heard of this show, here's the inexplicably strange cast of characters:

Since actual Yo Gabba Gabba toys are nearly non-existent in retail stores, I made some myself out of scraps of felt from my stash!  Total cost -  $ ZERO $.

They are flat and pretty simple, I left off a lot of detail including the pupils in their eyes (ha!), and I never even bothered switching thread color the entire time... but they WORKED!!!  No crying during swimming and he loves, loves, loves his new guys to play with!   *silent fist pump in the air - YES!*
