Crochet Olaf

Since the crochet Minions my Mum and I have been making are proving quite popular (we've already sold 12 to my sister's friends) we thought about what else might go down well, and it was pretty obvious; Frozen!

Fun fact: I only watched it for the first time this summer #latetotheparty

So my Mum looked around for an Olaf pattern and adapted what she found slightly. 

Then it was my job to make the mouth, eyes and nose out of felt.

And sew on some eyebrows. They really make all the difference.

Kid's Craft: Model Olaf

The summer holidays mean the start of the children's art workshops at the Letchworth Arts Centre and the first week is Frozen themed. Note: I did not pick the theme.

The first activity was making a posable Olaf out of tissue paper covered polystyrene balls with wire running through them.

Pipe cleaner arms, rolled up paper for the nose, black paper for the mouth, googly eyes and paper eyebrows which make him look both excited and terrified. Excitified.

To extend the activity the children also made winter scenes in a box for their Olaf figure to fit in to.

I love what they came up with.
