The leaves are beginning to change colour and the temperature is dropping. Maurice could sense that Autumn was here and quickly dusted off his best coat and walking boots. After all, this little mouse loves nothing more than to take long walks through the woods on a crisp morning, feeling the crunch of leaves underneath his feet while scavenging for his favourite mushrooms! Safety first: Anyone dealing with children will know they like to figure out the ins and outs of their toys and usually end up chomping on parts or pulling bits apart. To reduce the risk of choking, you could substitute the toy saftey eyes for embroidered eyes, depending on the age of the recipient of your toy. The yarn used for Maurice is a washable DK yarn made from 100% British Wool. This yarn can easily be substituted with your favourite DK brand.
