Livvieland is a happy place where all children go when they are dreaming. The place where the grass is blue and the sun is always shining. Where the flowers always smile at you and follow you as you walk by. And the Flutter Byes tickle your nose... The Izzy Busy Bees never sting instead they always sing... And Lady Bird is a real lady you know... Instructions: You will need some thin, strong ribbon, small squares of velcro, thin wadding. Cut out all the book shapes as spreads/double pages.

Sides facing together, sew these double pages together. Allow a gap to turn inside out. Cut out a wadding rectangle just a bit smaller than book size. Insert wadding layer. Top stitch to close. Repeat for all 3 double pages. On one side of stuffed toy, zig zag a small length of ribbon. Sides facing together, sew stuffed toys together. Allow a gap to turn inside out.
