Safari Toy Bag Pattern

Safari Toy Bag Pattern

by Elizabeth Mareno

This pattern can be purchased on ETSY or on my website.

The Safari Toy Bag features 5 little Safari characters. There's an elephant, a zebra, a giraffe, a hippo, and a lion! All of the characters get to be carried around in a safari-style backpack!

This set is extremely popular with little ones because they can use their safari backpack for anything and everything, and it keeps their safari characters all in one place. There is a real functional pocket on the front of the backpack and real usable straps on the back. You can customize this into a crossbody bag for an "older" little if it works better for you.

Here are the characters:

Lion
