Make sure there are NO gaps for little feet to get caught in. Don't hang the bridge too high from the ground and make sure there is lots of soft bedding beneath the bridge in...

Posting Squares to Knit a Square Charity

So here is what we sent a few weeks ago:  Picture taken by  lilangelsg2 Click  Here  for more charity blogs.
