The bird blocks measure 4” x 4” x 4”. Instructions are included to make a chick, flamingo, cockatoo, owl, parrot and penguin. The blocks are stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They are just the right size for babies and toddlers, and can be made for girls and boys. Fleece is used for the bodies and wings so the birds are very soft! Cotton fabric is used for the appliqués and feet. Ribbon is used for the feathers on the cockatoo’s head.
