Finshing
Make sure to fill the snout with stuffing before sewing it to the head. Attach some strands of yarn to the head and
comb them out to create Lee’s hair.
Important: for safety reasons, make sure to secure the yarn tightly using an extra knot, so that the yarn cannot be pulled loose and form a choking hazard. When in doubt, don’t add Lee’s hair – he’s just as cute without it! Use leftover black yarn to embroider the snout and eyes.
Do not let children under 3 years of age play with the rattle unsupervised.
