Did you know that the Leatherback Sea Turtle is the largest of all the turtles? They're also the most widely distributed, found worldwide with a huge north and south range. Leatherbacks get their name from the fact that they're one of the only turtle to not have a hard shell, which makes them rather appropriate for a felt kit, doesn't it? An adorable project that will look super sweet at your house, but it also makes a perfect gift.
Intermediate, recommended for ages 12 and up. The techniques are simple but there is more stitching than in the other kits, and a few of the steps involve smaller pieces that require a bit of extra patience to assemble.
Each kit envelope contains step-by-step photo illustrated instructions, paper pattern pieces, sheets of wool blend felt, 7mm safety eyes, chalk, embroidery floss, needle and pins.
Stuffing is not included as the finished piece is easy to stuff using scraps of felt or fabric cut into small bits, cotton balls as well as traditional stuffing. It also helps keep the shipping cost much lower as it can travel Canada Post letter mail.
These pieces are perfect either as whimsical decorative pieces or to be used in gentle play.
Finished Size: 8" x 5" (21cm x 13cm)
Not recommended for small children.

Welcome the little songbirds into your yard with the Log Cabin Birdhouse.
The slope of the roof and ventilation allow birds to keep out rain but maintains proper air flow and circulation. The Log Cabin Birdhouse has a hole that’s the right size for small songbirds but too small for their predators. The Log Cabin Birdhouse does not include a perch so birds can stay safe from predators, but it does come with a removable floor which allows for easy cleaning after your songbird family has left for the winter.
As each bird species has different bird nesting habitats, the Log Cabin Birdhouse comes with twine to hang in the optimal location and height to allow you to attract the nesting birds you desire. In addition to the above, it also includes a door, chimney and a laser engraved sign.
The Log Cabin Birdhouse also includes exterior non-toxic white glue for safe and convenient assembly. The Log Cabin Birdhouse makes an excellent gift for the bird enthusiast. Have fun with the whole family putting together the Log Cabin Birdhouse and be transported back in time as you build your cabin using the same authentic log construction methods as the early settler’s.
It also makes an excellent gift.
