From a playful pig and a cheerful chicken to Old MacDonald herself, this fun play set – perfect for rhyme time and story time – also includes a fold-out farmhouse for playing with and storing the characters!

The book features: easy-to-follow patterns for Old MacDonald, the farmhouse and all the animals, including a cow, pig, horse, sheep, cat, dog, chicken, duck, mouse and rabbit; basic stitches, simple sewing techniques and very few materials; full-size or easily scalable paper patterns for all the makes; a fold-up farmhouse playmat to play with and store your new farmyard friends.   Visit www.littlewoollyvision.com or @LittleWoollyVision on YouTube to watch (and sing along with!) the original animation.

This book is brought to you by the successful team behind the multi-award winning, stop-motion animation company Little Woolly Vision. The book was created by writer and designer Sarah Simi and animator Ed Hartwell, along with Leeanne Bell, a freelance crafter who has worked with them on many of their projects.

Sarah makes lots of the puppets and sets for the Little Woolly Vision animations. She is also a knitter extraordinaire and the creator, director and producer of Nudinits, the world’s first all-knitted animation, which has also resulted in four best-selling Nudinits books (visit nudinits.com). Sarah lives in Florida, USA. 

Ed is an experienced filmmaker who wrangles the puppets into shape to produce the animations; Ed also arranges all the music and tests his ideas on his own two young daughters who often provide sound effects for the characters and animals. Ed lives in London, UK.

Leeanne started making felt toys 10 years ago after becoming a stay-at-home mum. She has made many of the puppets and sets for the nursery rhyme animations and has written all of the patterns for Old MacDonald; making a pattern for a horse poo has been the highlight of her career to date! Leeanne lives in Glasgow, Scotland.

Little Woolly Vision is a multi-award winning, stop-motion animation company specialising in making animation with wool, fabric and felt. Based in London, everything they do is made and animated by hand. They launched Little Woolly Vision with the aim of putting a new spin on nursery rhymes and to move away from the computer generated animation so often associated with children’s songs online. Every nursery rhyme on their channel is animated using traditional stop-motion techniques and each puppet and set hand sewn with felt; the songs are recorded live by musicians Steve Pretty and Gemma Storr, which all contributes to producing a heart-warming, nostalgic feeling in every song.
