Sewing chestnut fish
A fish with chestnuts in its belly.
In the back there are two fins for holding and helping to fill the fish with chestnuts. At the front the fish mouth is closed with another rubber band and keeps the filled chestnuts in the fish belly. By loosening the rubber the fish can "spew" the whole chestnuts again. A nice material, which is especially popular with crib children. Easy to manufacture and versatile in use. You can also fill with other things, such as marbles or walnuts, small wuschel balls or cotton balls.
Stay creative and try it out!
