In the toy-making section one will find bean bags, finger and glove puppets, mobile, hand-painted fabric toys and soft toys. The knitting and needlepoint section includes a Jemima Puddle-duck pram cover, Hunca Munca sampler, and Squirrel Nutkin cross-stitch bib as well as a luxurious hearth rug featuring Mrs Tittlemouse. And in the decorating section one can learn how to stencil your furniture or room with Beatrix Potter characters. All the designs come together with colour photographs, together with charts and patterns, and easy-to-follow instructions.
