Bruce is a really quick, easy, and cute little fellow (although he could easily be a ‘she’ too). He is ideal for all ages, and having no easily removable small parts is just as good for babies. The small size also makes him good for carrying around in a child’s pocket or bag. Make him in Bowland DK and he can go through the washing machine too (on a delicate cycle). Furthermore, he has lots of opportunity for letting your imagination get creative: turn him into a rabbit or cat (instructions included), add a bow, bow tie, hat, flower, tail, or patch for extra cuteness and personality, have fun making each one different!
