This adorable fluffy sheep is the kind of handmade toy that gets squeezed constantly and dragged everywhere by its favorite human.

Picture a plush little sheep with a soft, textured body that begs to be hugged. The curly yarn gives it that authentic woolly look, while the gentle embroidered face radiates sweetness. This is perfect for a baby shower gift or nursery decoration - parents love handmade toys, and kids actually play with this one instead of leaving it on a shelf. The finished sheep sits comfortably in small hands and holds up well to affection. You can customize the colors too - go classic cream and beige, or get creative with pastels or bright shades. It's substantial enough to feel special but not so large that it takes over the toy box. This is the kind of project that people notice. When you bring it to a baby shower, other guests will ask where you bought it. When you admit you made it yourself, they'll want one too.
