How to Stitch on Plastic Canvas:
If you do not know how to stitch on plastic canvas and you need help understanding the patterns, Click Here.

Create the Baby Blocks:

• If you do not have pre-cut squares of plastic canvas, take a few minutes to cut your canvas into squares.
• Begin by using the patterns here to create all six block sides.

Assemble the Baby Block Toy:

• Join each pair of block sides. (Photo 1)
• Pick a color of yarn to use, thread the needle and tie a knot in the end of the yarn.
• Line up the holes of each block piece.
• Start at one corner hole and bring your need all the way through from the wrong side.
• Next go through the adjacent hole in the other piece from the right side through to the wrong side.
• Continue joining the piece by looping through each pair of holes in this manner.
• Finish your end of yarn by feeding it through a few stitches on the wrong side.

• Join two of the pairs together. (Photo 2)
• Set two of the joined pairs together along their L shaped sides.
• Join them together in the same "looping through pairs of holes" manner as above.
• Attach the last pair onto the others.  (Photo 3)
• Join them together in the same manner as above but before closing up the last side, drop 4 Christmas type jingle bells into the block.
• Finish closing up the last open side.
• To secure the end of your yarn on the last side, feed the needle and yarn up through 4 or 5 loops along one of the corners and then through a few more.
• Trim the end.
Done!
