Matt Lucas Baked Potato picture book is a huge success everywhere it's sold! Our little monsters love Baked Potato too. Just like all the British children and children in all the other countries where the book has been translated. Their parents are also thrilled because the COVID-19 rules are now really sticking with the kids. They sing them!

)Baked potato plushies aren't sold in the Netherlands like they are in the UK, and the little monsters think that's a real shame! A homemade Baked Potato is okay too, not quite as good, but a good second choice. :))

How to make your own Baked Potato

Print the PDF-pattern and cut it out

Pin the pattern onto the light brown wool felt.
 
 

Neatly cut out the Baked potato and remove the pattern.

Pin the pattern on felt again and cut out the second part.

Cut out the black eyes and pink cheeks.

Pin on eyes and cheeks and sew them in place.

Embroider using black a large, smiley mouth.

Blanket stitch Potato, the face on the outside.

When you're sewing your Baked Potato on a sewing machine:
Pin your Potato all around, face inwards, leave a filling opening at the bottom and turn it over when the sewing is finished
 
 

Stuff baked potato and set it aside for now.

 Cut out 4 feet and pin them 2 by 2 together.

Blanket stitch the feet all around land eave the top open.

Stuff the little feets with sheeps wool as well.

Pin both feet in between the open underside of Baked Potato.

Blanket stitch the underside and make Bake potato look alike with details!

Tip!! YouTube is now full of all sorts of funny Baked Potato videos. One of Matt Lucas singing the potato song beautifully, and more of him singing the song together with a celebrity guest. It's so much fun, our monsters watched them all!

Have fun with your Baked Potato!
