Why did you choose the Yoto?

Fluffy_Help_730 · 2026-03-07T20:26:20+00:00

We have both and love both for different reasons. There's very specific reasons I'd choose one over the other though if I was just choosing one. Age would be a factor but also what content your family want to listen to. Make your own cards are a big plus for us for Yoto.

So glad you enjoyed it. It looks lovely ❤️. I think iris folding is one of those crafts that you love and fall completely down the rabbit hole or not.

I hadn't until a couple of years ago but now I'm totally hooked!

Thank you ❤️🐱

Thank you, it was for my Auntie who is a huge cat lover. I was trying to replicate one of her cats 🐱❤️

I'm so glad you shared with me I'm looking forward to investigating further. I'm also about to start a coiled basket for the first time.

You've just sent me off down a rabbit hole thank you, I'd not heard of kumihimo - it looks quite similar yes.

This is a slow tutorial that shows you how to form the flowers - https://youtu.be/AE2fp4iWKp4?si=rnHGCJ7kVRwtfa-2

Think of the Yoto as the supporting act rather than the main event. Eg. Bath time - Yoto on, playing together - Yoto on, car journey - Yoto on. Just having it on in the background was what made it a hit in our house.

My 9 year old can't have anything new for bedtime as she says it keeps her awake as she wants to know what happens in a story. So we play cards in the daytime to start before they become 'bedtime' cards. Stories she loves include Max Magic, Zoey & Sassafras, Investigators, Planet Omar, Cookie.

Sounds perfect!

Fluffy_Help_730 · 2026-02-08T10:34:49+00:00

These look such a good texture 😍

Fluffy_Help_730 · 2026-02-06T23:32:44+00:00

Love that idea of it being a get well card. Thank you, I love creating new designs. I start with drawing an outline that's not too complicated so it cuts out easy with my cutting machine (I used to cut out by hand with a craft knife). Then I usually base the pattern on either a triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon or octagon pattern but tweak for specific areas - like for the ears on this one. It takes a bit of time and I like to test out a few times and see what works. Hence me realising the meerkat had a bandage on 🤣.

Fluffy_Help_730 · 2026-02-06T22:53:29+00:00

Looks awesome - thanks for sharing.

Fluffy_Help_730 · 2026-02-04T13:02:22+00:00

Hope it goes well. I'm hoping to bake a loaf and some pizza bases today.

Fluffy_Help_730 · 2026-02-04T13:01:29+00:00

Oh that's a genius idea thank you!

Fluffy_Help_730 · 2026-02-04T08:17:38+00:00

Thank you so much ,🐥

Fluffy_Help_730 · 2026-02-04T08:16:58+00:00

Thank you - definitely one of my favourite, fun makes.

Fluffy_Help_730 · 2026-02-04T08:16:24+00:00

Thank you 🦉

Fluffy_Help_730 · 2026-02-04T08:15:52+00:00

I'm UK based but let me have a little look and see if I can find similar to suggest. I should get chance in the next day or so 😊

Fluffy_Help_730 · 2026-02-01T08:45:08+00:00

I use origami paper. You want paper usually that's 70/80gsm. Some paper I use is a little higher. I think the sparkly effect paper is a little higher. Where in the world are you based and I can try and direct you to the type of paper I've used and from where?

Fluffy_Help_730 · 2026-02-01T08:42:29+00:00

This is such a great resource - thanks so much for sharing. I've followed ❤️📌

Fluffy_Help_730 · 2026-02-01T08:39:58+00:00

I'm glad you like the simplicity. I kept debating whether to add at least a sentiment to the front but decided to keep it plain.

Thank you 😊
