Ever since Disney Pixar Movie Inside Out came out my girls emotions have been higher than ever! Why? Because they found out that I had a few friends hidden somewhere in the house, but until my Inside Out Inspired Tulle Toy Plush Holder was ready, I wanted to keep them a surprise.
One of the things that my girls definitely don’t lack in is showing their emotions. Wether they are Angry, Sad, Scared, Joyous, or Disgusted about something I can always count on them to show me exactly how they feel! Especially when they don’t get what they want.
I was so excited to head to my local Walmart to purchase Disney Pixar newest plush toys from the movie Inside Out over in their toy department. While I was at Walmart I decided to also get a hula hoop and to stop by the fabric section to purchase some Inside Out matching color tulle.
After purchasing all of these fantastic materials I realized that I can create a fun Inside Out inspired toy holder with just two materials!
Materials Needed to create your own tulle plush holder:
- 2 yards of each colored tulle or rolls (I matched my tulle to the Inside Out emotion characters)
- An extra 1/2 a yard of tulle for tying and hanging
- Hola Hoop
- A hook to hand from the ceiling
- Cardboard
Instruction to create your plush holder:
Step One: Lay all of your tulle on a clean floor or surface. Lay each color flat on top of each other.
Step Two: If you need to cut your tulle like I did (you can also purchase roll tulle and it already comes mostly cut) I laid a piece of cardboard on my tulle. I then folded over and over again until I had all of my tulle wrapped around my cardboard.
Step Three: Cut along each side of your tulle. This will cut all your tulle into two strips of fabric.
Step Four: No it’s time to start tying all of your fabric around your hula hoop. You will do this just like you would if you were creating a tutu.
Step Five: Tie all of you tulle around the hula hoop until completely covered.
Step Six: Tie the extra tulle on the bottom together with a piece of ribbon or extra tulle. Hang your plush toy holder somewhere safe and high with more tulle.
Now comes the fun part for both kiddos and mommy!
I’ve been using our Inside Out Plush Toy Holder not only for getting my girls to clean up their room but also to show how they are feeling when something does not go their way. Instead of using non kind words or hands they are to call me into the room and use their Inside Out emotions plush toys to throw over and into their plush holder.
As they throw the plush toy they are to tell me why they feel like that or what caused them to feel that way.
Just the other day I heard my youngest throw Joy into the holder and shout out “Joy, when mommy plays with me”. Now that made my heart feel Joy!
To get your friends out of their toy holder all you have to do is pull the tulle apart and all you friends will come tumbling down!
Easy clean up, fun, and a great way for kids to show how they feel!
Sometimes children have a hard time telling us how they feel, but if we look closely enough we can see that they actually where their feelings and emotions on their sleeves all the time. Check out some of the ways children show emotions everyday:
- Puppet Show
- Playing Dress-Up
- Drawing a Picture
- Acting Out a Story
Make sure to also pick up a box of Kellogg’s Inside Out Fruit Snacks at your local Walmart! We are heading there first thing Monday when they are arriving at ours and can’t wait to create a fun snack with them!
How do your kids show their emotions?
My youngest is an angry little fella, but he’s getting better at it. Even since we saw the movie he’s learning to recognize his anger and keep it a little reeled in. I love your plush holder, it’s so pretty! It’s like a plush holder fit for a princess! #client
Yes, my girls absolutely love it! Oh, I know exactly what you’re talking about too! Sounds like my little one!
Oh this is a fabulous idea, I love how colourful you made the holder too. My son could do with one of these in his room because he has a mountain of cuddly toys! 🙂
Thank you! Yes, my girls do too and it was perfect in their room 🙂
I have seen a lot of cute inside out inspired plush holders, but this one is the cutest. It looks so easy to do as well.
awwww this is adorable. my kids are still little so this would be perfect.
I love your plush holder! That’s a great idea! And I love your little game “throwing the emotions”. We bought the plushes too- such a great movie and tools to talk to kids about emotions!
How AWESOME was Inside Out!? I got to attend a screening June 1st and got to meet the films director and producer and it was so amazing. This is an adorable plush holder <3
Now that’s amazing! I’m hoping to attend one of the events one day 🙂 LOVED it! Thank you so much! My girls love it too!
Your project turned out adorable!! I love how many toys you can fit in that and how brightly colored it is.
Thank you so much! We loved how it turned out 🙂
The plushies looks so cute. The plush holder looks creatively done, unique and really useful.
Thank you Franc!
oh wow how cute is this craft and I can see how much your kids love them. I think my nephew would love something like that though he would want to knock it down lol
Yes, we had to make it high enough so that my girls wouldn’t 🙂 LOL! They have tried though!
This is such a cute idea. I love the toys, need to start collecting them for my daughter.
They are super cute and cuddly too Shaney! My girls love them and they were priced great too!
Awww I just love Inside Out! This toy holder is such a cute and fun idea. Very innovative too. I’ve never seen anything quite like this before. Great job!
Thank you Joyce! I was going for easy and not to time consuming 🙂
So, so cute. Tulle is so cheap and can be used for so many things. My mind is turning with ideas.
Yes! I love working with tulle! So much you can do 🙂
This is definitely a great way to get kids to let you know they are feeling and to hopefully get them talking.
Definitely what I was going for! Especially when they are in the anger stage, it seems to really work well because they concentrate on the game and talking to me instead of using negative emotions.
This is a nice project! We saw this movie and it really did resonate with my son.
Omg now this is just adorable!! It would look pretty fabulous in my daughters new “big girl” room!
Thank you Courtney!
Wow Victoria! You’re one creative woman. It would be perfect for my daughter’s room 🙂
Thanks Jeana!
