Froggie Heat Pack
Corduroy, velvet or
a heat resistant fabric
Black felt for eyes
Sewing Machine
Wheat to fill frog
1/2 cup of Dried Lavender
This is an adapted pattern to turn our Bean Bag Frog into a heat pack for kids.
Start by printing off the pattern below and enlarging it to the size you would like your frog to be.
cutting 1 piece out for the top and 1 piece out for the bottom of the frog. The pattern is designed to work with a fold down the middle.
With the right sides together sew around your frog either on a sewing machine or over locker, Hand sewing would not be very durable for this pattern as a heat pack. Leave a small section open for turning the right way and filling.
Stitch on the felt eyes, you could use buttons, but it may be a little rough against the skin when the heat pack is in use.
Turn the frog the right side out using a pen or pencil to push out the arms and legs.
Using a funnel fill the frog with 1/2 a cup of dried lavender flowers and wheat then sew up the opening with strong thread.
To use, place it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Refresh the lavender with oil drops as it begins to wear out

so cute! my mom has loves these except the ones she have are rectangle and she calls them herbies. now shes going to have one that is a little bit cooler.
What a great idea for my favorite frog lover. She's getting one for xmas
Love the pattern, I use Long grain Rice instead of wheat, It works well and is easier to obtain in small quantities than wheat.
frogs i love frogs!!!!!!!!!!!
Where do I buy "wheat?" What does it look like?
I bet you could easily turn it into another animal too!
i like frogs
