I got this fleece sweater for LM from a grab bag at a yardsale. It was just his size, and pretty cute. All except for the gaping hole in the left sleeve.
It could have gone straight to the trash can. But I've been in a recycling mood lately, and I thought to myself: "this is perfectly good fleece! I'm sure I can use this for something!"
A while ago, I saw an awesome idea over on Little Hands, Big Work to make a Stroller Strap. So, with the fleece in hand, I made one. Fleece is an awesome material to work with, because you don't have to hem the edges. So, I just cut some strips out of the fleece, tied them together, and made a loop on the end.
I'm going to tie the other end onto LB's stroller. While we are walking in places that I don't want LM to run wild, I will have him hold onto the strap to stay close by me. We actually tried it out at the store yesterday and it worked pretty well. I love that it keeps him near and teaches him self-control without having to completely harness him.

We still use ours all the time! Yours turned out really cute!
You are just so smart!
Great idea!
I just got a new "Featured on The Activity Mom" button. I've featured your heart activity, photo scavenger hunt, parking lot letters, and ABC book (all without coming across like a stalker I hope =)). If you'd like a button, feel free to grab the code from my blog.
Either way, thank you for such great posts and the inspiration!
