Guidelines for making stuffed animals for this
project:
*Use only new materials; washable fabrics are preferable.
* Use small, tight stitches; all stitching needs to be
secure.
* Faces can be painted (use non-toxic paints), or they can
  be embroidered; or cut out and securely stitch a pair of
felt eyes and nose on before the animal is sewn together.
Please do not use buttons or glue on stuffed animals.
* Stuffed animals should be in the size range of between
  4-inches up to 10-inches tall.
* If ribbon or a bow is used, secure them with   stitching.
* Please do not attach any tags to the stuffed animals.
* Poly-fil stuffing is preferred (for washability, and does not
   lump).
* We ask that you please not make pigs or cows for this
program as they are considered unclean or sacred by
some cultures and could be viewed as offensive. We want
to send 'loving hugs'.

Most important: Have fun with this and love what
you are doing for these children!
