DIY: Teething Toy; Boo Boo Bunny

2:52 PM

Have a sad teething baby? Make them a boo boo bunny.

When we were little our mom made us a boo boo bunny when we got hurt. Here I am today doing the same thing for my teething child only a little different.

The original boo boo bunny when we were kids was used as an ice cube holder for scraped knees. Since you can't give a baby an ice cube, we will just roll up some yummy stuff in the middle and wet it down a bit with cold water to soothe those gums.

All you need is a washcloth, some water, applesauce, and a sturdy elastic.

Roll up your washcloth like this with some applesauce in the middle of it.

Add a little more applesauce.

Fold it in half like so.

Fold back the "ears"

Tie around bunny "face" with elastic.

My teething baby loves the wet bunny the best. It's just a wet washcloth rolled up without the applesauce. You can place it in the freezer to make it extra cold on their gums.

Happier baby :)

Sisters Meg and Steph discovered that while living the life of poor, newlywed, college students, with fresh little babies in the middle of The Great Recession they could still have what they needed and wanted if they got to work and created things with their own hands. This mindset has saved them thousands of dollars in living expenses, and as they share their knowledge with others, the savings keeps growing.

This is a great idea. Your baby is so cute! Mine is almost 10 months and still only has two teeth... but I know the teething monster is coming soon!
