I still have two more baby showers to go to and I have started putting together a basket for each full of little goodies like a blanket and an outfit I have made for each. I want to make a few of those Booboo bunnies to put in them, does any one have any idea how to make them?? I know its a washcloth and I have figured how to fold it (I think) I really need to know what they put in them that is OK to freeze. Help!

The cubes that they use are called refreezable cubes. You can find them in discount department stores or dollar stores. They are plastic with a gel inside them to keep drinks cold without watering them down. Same stuff that teething rings are made out of. You put them in freezer, use them, wash them and back in freezer. I have bought them before for 1.00 a bag, i think there was 12 in the bag. They come in all colors in same bag. But, i have seen them same color in bag. Hope this helps. Sewing Forever

Here is the instructions for the Boo Boo Bunnies. Have fun. Violet Boo Boo Bunny Materials Needed: 1 wash cloth in any color (pastels & whites are good for baby showers) 1 small to medium rubber band 2 - 10mm wiggly eyes 1 - 10mm pink pom nose (optional) 1 - 1/4" or 1/2" white pom tail 15" ribbon in coordinating color poem white craft glue Procedure: Start at a corner of wash cloth and roll it tightly toward the center. When you get to the center, start at the opposite side and roll that corner to the center also. This will form two coils in the wash cloth. Fold in half with the two coils to the outside. Picture the ends as bunny ears. Grab the ends and bend straight upwards about four to five inches in from end. This fold forms the face. Hold the ears up and put a rubber band snuggly around the face (about an inch back from the fold). Fluff out ears. Glue on wiggly eyes and an optional pom nose. (This bunny looks cute with or without a nose). Glue a pom to tail. Print boo boo bunny poem, trim, punch a hole in corner and slide it onto ribbon. Tie the ribbon around neck to cover rubber band. Trim ribbon ends. An ice cube popped into the center will "cure" most boo boos! (Hint: Plastic ice cubes aren't as messy. Just keep them in the fridge for emergencies.) Poem - If a boo-boo has you feeling crummy, Stick an ice cube in my tummy. Hold it to your boo-boo tight. Soon everything will be all right! I've decided to live forever - so far, so good.

I used to make these using a plastic Easter egg in the center. The kind of egg you open up and put candy or money inside. Sometimes I'd put candy in them when I gave them as gifts. Then you'd put an ice cube or two in the middle. The gel cubes (never heard of those!) sound nicer because they'd be soft, but the Easter eggs were colorful. Sparky
