My daughter made diamondFuzz, fuzzy fun! I'm going to bring it along when I use this app with 3rd graders for #HourOfCode during the week of December 9th. Having already tried the Kodable app out with a 1st grader and 3rd grader, I'm confident we'll have a blast! Maybe the kiddos will be inspired to make their own Fuzzy after our class. Hope so!

To make your very own fuzzy, try using materials you already have at home. Get creative! Here's some suggestions. We recommend starting with a small to medium sized ball. I wanted to use a basketball but we didn't have enough fabric. We used a bouncy ball that was laying around the house the size of a softball. Then we covered it with fuzzy material using a hot or cool glue gun or fabric glue. You can even use an old colorful beach or hand towel (that's fuzzy, right?!) We had some white fuzzy material left over from another project that we used. Add some googly eyes and a happy felt smile, black and red and you are all set! A "Maker event" for sure! 


P.S. I say "we" but it was me hunting around for supplies with Jillian's help and Jillian making the Fuzzy Fun creature.
