These washcloth crafts are a lovely, creative way to present gifts for both baby and bridal showers. I included a couple different tutorials for each project and will be adding more ideas here as I find them (so you may want to bookmark this page for reference), enjoy!

Boo Boo Bunnies: These are popular gifts for baby showers and fillers for new baby gift baskets (good item for a diaper cake ^[10] too), these are very easy to make! Also see this Boo-Boo Bunny Tutorial ^[11] which includes a nice video tutorial.

The idea is to stick an ice cube in the middle of the bunny and apply to the “boo boo”. Kids love them and are comforted by their cuddly friend. Because a rubber band, glued pompoms and eyes are used, this is more a decoration piece for a baby’s nursery until the child is old enough to have it without worrying about the small piece choking hazard.

A cute little poem to go with it as well (don’t miss the couple added in the discussion area below, thanks very much to Virginia and Susan for sharing!):

Boo Boo Bunny

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!
