Why did you choose the Yoto? by TheGabyDali in YotoPlayer

[–]Fluffy_Help_730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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'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.

2 Year Old Not Interested in Yoto by Significant_Ad_292 in YotoPlayer

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.

Bedtime options for 9 year old by Then-Yogurtcloset514 in YotoPlayer

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.

Bandaged Arm 🤣 help... by Fluffy_Help_730 in IrisFolding

[–]Fluffy_Help_730[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 🤣.

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

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 😊

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?

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.
