Today we are making cute little hares from sheep's wool. They are not difficult to make but you do have to shape them a bit. Maybe try it a few times and loosen the wool and try again, then you will definitely succeed! If the hares succeed, they are so sweet and cute, the little monsters think so too ;)

How to make the little hares

Pull a strand from the wool and smoothen it.

Tie a knot in the wool.

Tie the knot loosly.

Look carefully at your little hare, turn the knots a little if needed and tuck the loose end at the bottom neatly in

Roll the ears between you fingers.

We also make a friend for our little hare.

Now they are happy together!
