Many blessings my dear ! I heard the same as you told in the video about stimulating my mom (93).For sure I will follow your advices and make something special for her . From Brazil !❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is a great question! And while I can’t say for sure because I’m not an expert in this area, I think there mats that people make/use for babies to help with development
Can’t help myself commenting on how much material you wasted from felt and batting. Why cut like that, a whole in the middle of the material ? You should cut from the corner after you straighten the margins.
Absolutely! I definitely save my fabrics scraps for other fidget blankets but the batting is harder to save. Using the corner would help- it’s just not how I demonstrated it is all😊
Thank you for saying this! Drives me nuts to see how wasteful people can be. Sure, you can use the scraps, but you would have a larger single leftover piece for another project by placing it on the edge. You can "demonstrate" how to not waste fabric. Otherwise, good video.
Was thinking that too! Omg! My anxiety at the thought of all that waste, you could've got four backings from that one piece of felt, or definitely three... For someone who's watching the pennies I find it such a waste 😔 but otherwise a great video I'm making some tomorrow for work 😊
@@TheSeniorCenteredPTyou can use batting for stuffing or for smaller projects like placemats etc also you can zigzag join several smaller pieces together

Thanks. This is perfect. Appreciate you taking time to show us how help others❤
awesome, well explained. thank you for sharing
Love your video. I'm wanting to make some and donate them. Do you know how I would go about finding people who could use them?
Hi Lucy! I'm so glad, and you are so sweet to do that! I would call your local hospitals as well as living facilities that have "memory care units".
Just wondering if you would bind the edges so they don't ravel?
You definitely could, but I haven't had any issues with that. It would make it look really cute too though :)
Can some of these be good for babies?
