Large Fabric Puzzle Ball

I found a tutorial for this when my 1st son was a baby. It was much smaller and graspable by the baby. This one is a little overwhelming for the baby we have now, but its still a fun soft toy. It is also called an "Amish puzzle ball." When I was a cub scout leader the scouts loved to play with it as well because its strange looking and fun. We would stand in a circle and everyone would have a kitchen spoon and they would have to catch the ball with the spoon and toss it back and forth with a spoon. This time I went even bigger with the ball. Really easy to make with scrap fabric. A great use for scrap fabric I would say! My big kids help me stuff all of the footballs and were surprised when they woke up and I had sewn it into the shape that the final product is. It would even be a fun math lesson for a teacher in regards to factors and dividing and groups. Lots can be done with this unique project!
