Loop Toy for Baby Neb

My inspiration for my current projects is the baby niece we're expecting on Oct 2nd. 

The baby shower is this weekend, so I'm rushing to pull some fun things together! 

I stumbled upon this "Loop Toy" a while back and thought it would be a great homemade gift for the little one...

I was able to create this toy today, although I probably spent way more time on it than I should have :)

I chose the colors since they are bright and contrasting...perfect for a newborn!

Thank you to blogger Amy for an amazing pattern...if only I had some jingle bells to include in the tubing.
