Adventure Bags by Cosy Crochet

The Horse Stable Bag is the first in hopefully a long line of differently designed Adventure Bags by Cosy Crochet.

The idea behind the adventure bags is that each bag is a toy in its own right, which has appropriate themed accessories to match. As well as being part of the toy, at the end of the day when the fun has ended, these bags fold away and store all the accessories inside them, meaning they don’t require much storage. As a lovely advantage they are also the perfect travel toy for any child to take away with them for any length of time.

The Horse Stable Bag

The Horse Stable Bag is, as the name suggests a stable in a bag. When closed up the bag just looks like any other with a lovely horse motif on each of the larger sides. However, when opened up this bag is so much more, is is a stable and grass grazing area for the horses. Any horse loving child will love this bag and it will provide hours of imaginative entertainment for them. The two riding sisters have removable dresses and helmets and the oldest sister can take the mother horse out for a ride, or walk the horse around with her little sister on. At the end of the day the girls can remove the saddle, saddle pad and reigns from the horse and feed her and her baby foal their hay or a treat carrot or apple from their baskets if they prefer. The horses can also go in their stable to rest when they are tired.

Once your child has finished in their imaginative horse play they can simply pop the horses, girls and accessories back in the bag, fold it up and be on their way.

The finished horse stable bag is 6.5” wide x 5.5” tall x 3” deep when closed.
