Things You'll Need:
- Broom with wooden handle
- Thick sock
- Stuffing
- Two big buttons
- Yarn
- Needle
- Felt
-
Step 1
Unscrew the broom from the handle.
-
Step 2
Fill the sock with stuffing. Stuff the sock as full as possible but leave the end of the sock under stuffed. This will be the horses head.
-
Step 3
Sew the buttons on the sock. These will be the horse's eyes. Sew the felt on for nostrils, ears and mouth.
-
Step 4
Use the yarn to make a mane. Sew the yarn onto the horses back and cut it to make it fringe. Add ribbons to the horse as reigns for the child to hold onto.
-
Step 5
Stick the wooden broom handle into the tube of the sock. Tie the sock onto the handle with yarn or rope.
